Joe Biden announced that he will tap into the U.S. Strategic Oil Reserve in order to lower the price of gasoline — this after deliberately cutting production by shutting down pipelines and refusing to grant drilling permits in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s unknown how Biden can promote his climate agenda while increasing fossil fuel production. Environmental activists are puzzled — and angry.
“There is a huge contradiction right now in their actions,” said Jean Su, who directs the Energy Justice Program at the Center for Biological Diversity, which has sued to stop the oil rights auction. “It’s really all hands on deck right now for climate. . . . Right now is not the time for more oil and gas production.”
The president himself has acknowledged some measure of “irony” in his campaign for more production of fossil fuels — and lower prices that would let Americans burn more of them — as his administration has set a course for net zero greenhouse emissions by 2050.
“More oil now, less oil later,” is the headline in The Post. It boggles the mind how transparently idiotic this policy is. And these are the smart guys?
Want to hear something even dumber? Releasing gas from the Strategic Oil Reserve won’t lower the price of gasoline by one single penny.

“Stupid” is the operant word here, kinda like abandoning Bagram AFB before the exit ops are finished.
Seems to be a thread in this “administration”.
“Biden to Tap the Nation’s Strategic Oil Reserve After Stupidly Cutting Production”
a strategic reserve biden should thank trump for filling up ... guess trump will get to re-fill it again when he’s re-elected ...
Blundering Biden to the “rescue”.
Let's Go Brandon!

Trump put that out a while ago.
Brandon flies an 80-vehicle motorcade to see the Pope and then flies the 80 vehicles to Scotland to a Climate Change Bullshittery Confab and then releases Strategic Reserve Supply, 2 days worth of US consumption, to try to reduce global prices after banning oil pipeline Keystone and restricting US drilling permits issuance, and shutting down more coal plants with EPA regs on water.
Brandon, gaslight me more man. Not feeling the lies quite yet.
There is nothing these people do by stupidly. They create crises, then come up with “brilliant” solutions.
So I’m guessing Hunter Biden has already set up his “Oil Reseller Middleman” paperwork and will insert himself into the supply chain, never once seeing or touching a drop of oil. And Xiden owns 10% of the new company...
The inflated current price is bidens fault. Releasing reserves will have little if any effect on prices. What would have effect on prices would be to draw back on his radical “green energy” policies which have led to this price increase. Depleting the reserves will simply create a greater dependency on foreign oil, particularly when we face an emergency.
But again, the lefts policies are not about improving America, but rather about destroying America as we know it.
The “Babylon Bee” is beat yet again by the stupidity of Joe Biden and his team.
That was not stupidity. we need to see this for what it is, a purposed act of destructing a thriving economy. The normalcy bias is murdering any chance for the we the people Republic to see the abortion of same being performed out in the open. Because of the plandemic distractions? You betcha!
WhyTF do we only have to do this when libs are in power?
Make no mistake, they want gas prices this high and higher, they just don’t want the political fallout. They probably are a little shocked that prices are rising this fast. They want to boil the frog a little slower.
Well its good to know that the oil will help ease the price that the PLA has to pay to keep its military machinery moving.
Americans can surely look past a few extra cents at the pump, and we all know that the US military doesn’t need all that oil in a military emergency.
How magnanimous of Brandon to give the oil to the poor downtrodden CCP!
The fuel crisis is not bad enough yet.
Sell off the Reserve.
Then we won’t even have our ‘seed corn’.
Maybe only a Jerry Can full in the garage.
It wasn’t stupid, it was stone cold evil.
I keep saying this Regime per China’s orders want to take this Country to its knees. And this is just another step. Wish people would wake up to what is going on!!!! But I think they are too dumb and cannot think on their own 2 feet.
