Neither are valid options. These people are morons. Drawing the SPR put America at long term risk, beginning in the near term. It has little effect at lower prices at the pump. It had great effect in emboldening our enemies. As for penalizing OPEC counties, someone please provide an example when sanctions have ever worked.
Face it. The world does not respect Biden, and thusly the world doesn’t respect America. The world is not going to work with us. We need to take things in our own hands and use the option not mentioned in the article. Stop this bogus green energy scam and drill baby, drill. Make America energy abundant and dominant. Not a single tax dollar should ever be spent on climate change and alternative energy production and solutions. That means no more subsides for solar, wind, EVs, ethanol, bio-fuels, etc. Cut every once of government related to this crap.
“White House does have a couple of options to help offset OPEC’s move”
None that include domestic production.
