I guess it’s good news that the United States is going to release oil from the strategic reserve. It’s a one-time decision that may help deal with rising gas prices.

What’s even better is because of a rebuilt Line 3, we have ongoing access to more oil from North Dakota and Canada.

Line 3 is now in operation every day. It is bringing more oil to our region where we can produce it without having to depend on the Middle East.

RELATED:
We need and use energy every day. The fact we are using more of it now and the price at the pump is going up shows how dynamic things can be.

I don’t like seeing the price to fill a vehicle go up but imagine how much worse this would be if we did not have Line 3.

The good news is that is not the case.
