Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer addresses the media in Midland, Mich., May 20, 2020. (Rebecca Cook/Reuters) After the Colonial Pipeline hack, the Michigan governor should know better. One of her predecessors does. Former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm’s response, as the U.S. Secretary of Energy, to the closure of one pipeline appears to be at odds with the plans of her Democratic ally and current governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Granholm, while scrambling to address a cyberattack-induced closure of a major East Coast pipeline, said in a press briefing that “pipe is the best way” to transport fuel. But Whitmer is attempting to forcibly close a regionally important pipeline. One of them is wrong.
