The Biden administration plans to seek bids this fall to buy 60 million barrels of crude oil as the first step in a years-long process aimed at replenishing America's emergency oil reserve, an Energy Department official told CNN.
This would mark the first time since the early 2000s that the Energy Department has acquired large quantities of oil for the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the largest emergency supply of oil on the planet.

the SPR, which has been drained by the war in Ukraine and sales mandated by BIDEN to raise revenue.
What Morons. Stopped Trump from refilling the full reserve when the prices were dirt cheap as a “handout to Oil Barons” and now trying to fill it when Prices are through the roof. Another attack on the American Economy.
Sell at $90, then buy at $120. biden’s a genius! Beware the unintended consequences.
Usually how my strategies work out.
Sell low, buy high.
The man’s a financial genius.
God help us, this kind of stupid is fatal.
Gas went up around me .25 since Tuesday

Yes, but Trump was a businessman. Biden is hack politician grifter. The approach is apparently “sell high, buy higher.”
