If the strategic petroleum reserve isn’t full we should be buying oil for storage. We can also buy oil and store it in rail tankers.
Last time I checked SPR was at 95%.
Not sure what the true “maximum” number is.
As for rail cars, they’re on shortage with a big production backlog so I don’t expect many to be sitting around as storage vessels.
How many days of OPEC imports do you think the SPR should hold?
We can also buy oil and store it in rail tankers.
You haven't tried to rent a rail tanker lately. The back order for more is up to a couple years I believe.
