The Biden Administration announced on Tuesday that it was temporarily waiving EPA restrictions on the sale of the “winter-time” gasoline formulation in major metropolitan areas of three states, and the District of Columbia, as part of an effort to add to the available inventories that can be used to address the gas shortage. The states are Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland, along with DC.
Normally, each April and May, the EPA requires gasoline manufacturers to begin delivering different formulations of gasoline in certain metropolitan areas because the “summertime” formulation produces fewer emissions from automobile engines. When that change happens, refiners and distributors are sometimes left with excess

What's their issue? We've just had a head start on the Green New Deal. Expect AOC to jump on this today.

Texas had billions of dollars in damage to be repaired, people froze to death, and not telling how much environmental damage from having to replace plumbing and property ruined because we weren't "allowed" by Bidet's people to turn up a generating plant to full capacity because to might emit a little more pollution. This administration couldn't care less about the environment. They ONLY care about power that they have a getting more. If Washington D.C. had to do without power for a few days, or weeks, like other places in the country sometimes do, that would be a very good thing.

Even the unproductive, overpaid progressives, not on the dole, need to drive in to work.

C'mon man! Don't go wobbly on us now! You surrendered to the green new deal and now it's time to commit 100% to the total destruction of the country. AOC will get really mad if you slack up now. Gas has gone up $1.00/gallon since January where I live in Mexiforniaco. No slowdown in sight. I just paid $9.00 a pound for bacon. A box of Kellogs corn flakes is right around $4.00/box. Corn tortillas are over $2.00 for a pkg of 30. Fritos Scoops are over $4 a bag. But keep making gas out of corn!

Not sure what legal controlling authority they had to waive these rules, except possibly it's being considered "temporary"?
I would suspect the democrat environmentalists are furious at this news too, since they nearly have the country on their knees.
Heck, it's almost like another shut-down, right?

Giving all those folks a nice sneak preview of the Green Raw Deal. I think they'll hate it.

Decisions made in a panic don't usually deliver the best outcomes.

They love it, but it needs to be done in such a way that people don't hate them for it. They want to stay behind the curtain and name some scape goat for the anger to be directed at.
They don't care about the facts, just who gets the bad publicity.

FTA: "We are monitoring supply shortages in parts of the Southeast and are evaluating every action the administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible...”
We get it that democrats and their Deep State EPA are serial hypocrites and polluters of convenience but why are there so many reports of gasoline and diesel shortages in the Southeast, closer to the major refineries along the Tx/La Gulf Coast? There are other pipelines besides Colonial and the truck/tanker distribution network would seem to favor in ever facet of supply chain management, the SE over the NE, unless political forces are compelling the prioritization of the very areas where the majority of insane voters elect democrats who pledge to end the use of fossil fuels entirely, some within ten years. Northbound tankers on I-95 and rail tank cars pose a greater environmental risk to some obscure insect, reptile, or minority community than the pipelines democrats always oppose. Let the anti-fossil fuel psychos get a good taste of the life that they demand for the Normal Americans.

For Demon-Rats, environmental fascism is a pillar of their party.
That is until negative polling numbers start to trickle in.
When you don't really stand for anything except pure lust for power, your "core beliefs" are pretty easy to bend with the polls...

Like putting a 'Jon Cary 3 Purple Heart' band-aid on a spouting carotid artery. Barely do any good but will wipe out the reserve for the fall. Guess what happens in the fall? More gas lines cause there is no 'winter' gas. We are watch an accelerated version of Atlas Shrugged.

Enviro-wackos just got smacked upside the head with a dose of reality. It will be years before we can truly get off fossil fuels and in the meantime, pipelines like Colonial are critical.

#18.....LOL. "Years before we can get off of fossil fuels".....Hah. You really have been drinking the Kool-Aid, haven't you?
Years?....well a hundred or so, at current rates of making "Mr. Fusion" technology become a reality. Trillions spent on fusion research for half a century or more, and not once has power out exceeded power in, even for a millionth of a second.
Hard truth. No real alternative fuels exist for aircraft other than petroleum products. You can manufacture alcohols at great expense, and they technically can work but the energy density is half of jet fuel, cost is far higher, and they dramatically decrease the range/payload balance. Sailing ships can work, but are really slow and just stupid. We did that, and learned better ways. Autos with electric power can work, clearly, but are extremely expensive and have short range. Batteries have a large environmental cost, relatively short service life.
Until Mr. Fusion (as seen in Back to the Future, Part II) is cheaply available, fossil fuels will be what is used for most transportation. The folks saying otherwise can only get their way under the iron boot of totalitarian rule, never in a free economy.
