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

The reason the SPR in several sites along the gulf coast, is because it is close to most of our refineries.

Most of the oil we currently use travels farther to the refineries than the oil from the SPR would travel. And it travels through the same pipelines.

So you’re telling me a spill is not likely if the reserves are tapped. Thanks for the logical explanation. Just don’t expect liberals to follow it.

Point I was making: in the liberal mind, an oil spill is always inevitable. In reality, a spill is not likely in any scenario. (That is, as long as we keep the earthfirsters under close scrutiny.)
