An oil spill (the democrat party idiot excuse for not drilling) can happen when you tap into reserves just like when you tap into the ground.

Only if a pipe bursts. The SPR don't require new drilling. It is contained in underground salt domes connected by pipes to wells. There is nothing to hook up, just open the valves, put water in and the oil rises up.

I realize it doesn’t require new drilling.

But it does require moving vast quantities of oil over very long distances.
