And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something, I don\u2019t believe, that any of us can tolerate. And there shouldn\u2019t be a thing that we should be counting on, or buying, or supporting, from Russia, that gives them the resources to use in this genocide that they\u2019re committing in Ukraine. But with that, we have to be stronger. We have to be committed and resilient enough to be able to say \u2018we\u2019re going to produce the energy that the world needs. We\u2019re going to extract and process the minerals, the critical minerals, that helps us with a cleaner environment, transitioning into a new world, if you will.\u2019 But that can be done right here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later on, Manchin was asked by a reporter what he believed the chances were that the Keystone XL pipeline would be revived to address the need for more oil. \u201cThe brand of the XL pipeline is probably gone,\u201d Manchin responded. \u201cCan it be rebranded, can it be rerouted, can it be these different things? We need this product. You all have a product that we have to have in order for us to meet the demand in our country, but in your country, too, and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPipelines will carry [oil] a lot safer, cleaner, and much better and more efficient than [by] rail or by trucks \u2026 the cleanest way to transport it is by pipe,\u201d Manchin added. He said he didn\u2019t know if the Biden administration \u201cis going to entertain that,\u201d but \u201cthey\u2019d be foolish not to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manchin has been a frequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-manchin-criticizes-biden-administration-say-you-will-support-oil-and-gas-development-and-production\">critic<\/a> of the Biden administration\u2019s energy policy, especially as it relates to domestic oil and gas production. He has repeatedly voiced his concerns with the administration\u2019s policies, and called for resuming federal oil and gas drilling. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/two-democrat-senators-join-republicans-in-calling-for-u-s-to-increase-domestic-oil-production\">held up<\/a> two of Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-manchin-sinks-bidens-anti-fossil-fuel-fed-nominee\">nominees<\/a> to Executive Branch positions over his concerns. Manchin also excoriated the Biden administration over news that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/consumer-prices-soar-8-5-in-march-highest-hike-since-1981\">inflation<\/a> hit another record high, and called on Biden to pursue an \u201call of the above\u201d energy policy to help ease the pain of sky-high inflation. \u201cGetting inflation under control will require more aggressive action by a Federal Reserve that waited too long to act. It demands the Administration and Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, support an all-the-above energy policy because that is the only way to bring down the high price of gas and energy while attacking climate change,\u201d Manchin said in a <a href=\"http:\/\/manchin.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/04\/12\/2022\/manchin-statement-on-highest-inflation-in-four-decades\">statement<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States of America is equipped to be energy independent from Russia and other terror-sponsoring countries while also working to fight global climate change and break our dependence on the critical mineral supply chain from China. The inflation number today is only the beginning unless we take immediate action to address the pain being felt across our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
