The updates mean that it will take longer for pipelines to become active, he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Christie said that these updates are \u201ca huge barrier to developing needed pipeline capacity to take advantage of our domestic resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreasing gas production and supply cannot be done overnight and it requires more than drilling, it requires increasing the capacity to transport gas,\u201d Christie added. \u201cThat takes sufficient pipeline capacity. Pipelines are the only realistic way to transport gas supply in large quantities from American gas fields to consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/washington-state-governor-warns-climate-change-will-bring-a-summer-of-blackouts-destruction-and-death\">several energy industry leaders<\/a> also recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2022\/06\/02\/blackout-states-summer-heat\/\">told<\/a> The Washington Post that the rapid transition toward green energy could harm Americans in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody has a good sense of where we want to go in terms of decarbonizing the fleet,\u201d Midcontinent Independent System Operator Chief Executive Officer John Bear recently told the press.\u201cWe are moving in that direction. Unfortunately, we are moving in that direction quite quickly and I am worried about the transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An energy economist at the University of Houston, Ed Hirs, also emphasized that there has not been enough investment into green energy for America to fully take the plunge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve let our infrastructure decay to the point where we have these failures,\u201d Hirs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2022\/06\/02\/blackout-states-summer-heat\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cSomebody has to stand up and start doing something. We have not even addressed what will happen to the grid when every two-car family switches to one plug-in Ford F150 [pickup truck] and one plug-in passenger car. The grid can\u2019t even handle what we have now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For its part, The White House has doubled down on the need to limit fossil fuels in the economy as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Heather Boushey, a member of the White House\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers, recently said that high gas prices are a \u201cpriority\u201d for the president, \u201cbut none of that changes the fact that for our national economic security, for our national security, we have to be thinking about all the different ways we can transition to green energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WH economic advisor Heather Boushey: Biden has been &#8220;so clear&#8221; that he cares about lowering gas prices, &#8220;but none of that changes the fact&#8221; we need to &#8220;transition&#8221; to green energy <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HJvPzTzH9z\">pic.twitter.com\/HJvPzTzH9z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1539442323213492225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2022<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden has claimed that the United States is in the middle of an \u201cincredible transition\u201d to green energy, but critics say that his administration is pushing the country too quickly toward that goal and driving up energy prices in the process.
