Biden to release 10M more barrels from Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November in wake of OPEC+ cuts
Fox Business ^ | October 5, 2022 12:52pm EDT | Caitlin McFall

President Biden on Wednesday said he would release 10 million more barrels of oil from the U.S.’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in November in a move to counter raising gas prices again.

His decision was announced just hours after Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) said it would be cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day.

The cuts will restore the oil market for top producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia but are also expected to drive up costs at the pump globally.

But Biden’s attempt to circumvent the spike in gases prices expected to hit the market in time for the midterm elections may not prove all that effective.

You have to look at the big picture. Democrats don’t care about a strategic reserve of oil because they plan on shutting down the entire industry. The Left cheers the idea of running out of oil.

Imagine if Trump had done this......

The headlines are easy to predict:

Former defense chiefs raise alarm about Trump weakening the nation.

Trump family to benefit from release of strategic reserves.

The list goes on and on........

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve Is At Its Lowest Level Since 1984 (from Forbes on 9/7/2022)

From the article:

The SPR has now been depleted since President Biden took office from 640 million barrels to 450 million barrels. This depletion is consistent with recent history. Historically SPR volumes tended to grow during Republican administrations and to fall during Democratic administrations. That pattern has held true since 1980.

5 days of the OPEC cuts. And it lowers our strategic reserves by 10,000,000 barrels.

Every single House and Senate member who voted against funding Trumps attempt to fill when oil was cheap and plentiful should be prosecuted for treason.

Every single one of them.

The U.S. uses approximately 18.7M barrels of oil per day.
So 10M barrels of oil equates to approximately 13 hours of oil consumption.

The irresponsibility of using the strategic reserve to help Democrats in an election can’t be overstated.

This is completely reckless and bad leadership.
