We have a strategic oil reserve. What we need now is a tactical oil reserve that we can open whenever the price of oil reaches a certain threshold. Busch should write an executive order to this end and star drilling on Federal lands.
The strategic oil supply is just enough to keep the US military running for 70 days. If a conflict exceeded that, we’d be back to horses and wood stoves. Very bad for the economy. That the Libs have blocked drilling for our own oil for 35 years is the real crime, for which the guilty should be horse-whipped.
I've thought about this time and time again, the time has passed.
The oil companies would barely get a drill into the ground before the next Democrat president countermanded the order.
The sad fact is we will need to be in a crisis before any drilling is allowed. (Not far off actually)
