Granholm: SPR Release Is ‘Doing Its Job’ – But Gas Prices Will Be ‘Rough’ ‘Through the End of the Year’
Breitbart ^ | 06/04/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 06/04/2022 12:44:46 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During portions of an interview with ABC News released on Friday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm argued that the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is “doing its job.” Because the point of the release “is to stabilize the global market” for oil and warned that gas prices will increase over the summer and gas prices will be “rough” “from now through the end of the year, really.”

Granholm stated, “The point of this — it’s doing its job. Because it is to stabilize the global market. I mean, we happen to have the largest tool of any country in terms of the volume of our strategic petroleum reserves.”

I don’t get it. We have released oil from the strategic reserve, but prices keep going up anyway. What the heck? And we are being told that this release has helped stabilize the prices which keep going up?

I don’t get it.

their excuse and ‘explanation’ is that ‘prices woudl be much higher if they hadn’t acted and released the reserves’

funn y how under Trump there was no need for excuses and explanations, because prices dropped his whole term- all the way down to under $2 in some states- biden takes over and IMMEDIATELY prices soar

The SPR was built to handle embargoes. Not stupidity.

Yup, draw down the SPR to drop prices and then fill it back up at higher prices when the tactic fails miserably. Must be a government program! Let’s Go Brandon!

It would be helpful if the energy czar had more than 2 brain cells to rub together. She keeps talking about a magic wand. Maybe she should borrow Trump's and bring down gas prices.

It's easy. Stop scaring the beejeezus out if investors, complete the XL pipeline, green light leases, and help get refineries back on line. Now THAT is a magic wand. But all we get out of her is her Harris-esque cackling.

If supplies get REALLY tight and we get into a shooting war, there might be a challenge to fuel our military hardware. These assholes don’t even know the PURPOSE of the SPR.
