Biden, Oil, and Disinformation

This from Trump toady Jim Jordan, to which energy investment analyst Robert Rapier replied: Someone should ask him which of these pipelines (see below) are closed.

What’s the disconnect here?  My best guess is that it’s the reaction to one of the right wing talking points: The United States was energy independent until Biden came along (which, of course, it wasn’t).  This, I can only believe, is a reference to the president’s putting a stop to the Keystone XL pipeline when he came into office.

Anyone who understands the first thing about the subject knows that the pipeline would have taken at least three years to complete, even if legal wranglings didn’t hold it up indefinitely.  In any case. it has exactly zero effect on today’s oil supply.  It’s likely Jordan knows this, but also knows he’s talking to an audience that is totally ignorant of the facts at hand.

Shameful.
