Joe Biden reportedly exports [from spr] 5 million oil barrels despite US gas prices
New York Post ^ | 6-July-2022 | By Ariel Zilber

The Biden administration exported more than 5 million barrels of oil from its emergency reserves that were released in order to combat sky-high gas prices here at home, according to a report.

The US sent the oil, which was taken from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that the Biden administration tapped into in hopes of getting mounting energy prices under control, to Asia and Europe, Reuters is reporting.

The release of around 1 million barrels a day from the SPR through October has had a minimal effect in decreasing the price of oil. At the same time, it has depleted the reserves to their lowest level since 1986.

Why is most of the SPR high sulphur crude? If we can’t refine it why hoard it?

There is no refinery capacity in the US to refine it.

Also would like a source on this statement.

Huge story if true. Did the big guy get his 10%?

Granholm, head of the lack-of-energy department, actually wants American oil producers to increase output over the next 5 years, then stop altogether.

Why Michiganders even elected this commie for governor is beyond me. Then again, they did elect Whitmer.*

*No insult intended to conservative Michiganders, who simply aren’t that stupid.

Well what are we doing with most of the crude coming out of the Gulf of Mexico because it’s sour crude?

All the refineries along the Gulf coast refine sour crude.

Detroit steals elections. Likely Flint and Ann Arbor as well. Most Michiganders lean Red but cities have been stealing elections for decades with the help of unions and welfare recipients.

These anti Americans are more concerned with the enemy than we the people. Will they ever call it treason?

John and Robert Kennedy weren’t afraid to use the word.. today it’s out there for all to see.. this country has been hijacked and the hijackers go their merry way.. lying to us.. selling what is left..giving our daily living ..
I’m a senior.. did you see the old soldier on TV.. crying over what this country has become.. all the deaths.. lives given Up for our freedom .. and end up surrendering to unworthy minds and countries.

We let a Muslim man.. with no allegiance to the US.. change our God given name... over to his whims.. and he is still doing so.

We let them put an old man with no mind.. sit in the most powerful seat.

In all my years... never...never.. imagined this proud great land would crumble ..

Sad!!

Wake me when you get an answer. The only impediment to the refining of sour crude in the U.S. is the EPA. The argument that U.S.refineries don't have the capability to refine sour crude is BS.

Hard to tell from reporting but it's maybe not 5 million barrels- it's more 5 million barrels a month exported. Just under 20% of the reserve draw downs are being exported
