It's a "Strategic" Petroleum Reserve designed for wartime, not hurricanes.
Now, it's a Tactical Petroluem Buffer apparently.
Should oil supplies be disrupted in the Middle East or Far East this winter, we will have less than 30 days of oil in the reserve.
I'm against this. It's short-term thinking, not long-term.

It's a "Strategic" Petroleum Reserve designed for wartime, not hurricanes. Your documentation for that statement? Is it specified in writing that it is for wartime only, and not other national emergencies?
btw, this IS wartime.........but it is also a national emergency.
It qualifies on all counts.
