"That’s only half a joke as the storage facilities are apparently slowly collapsing thanks to being empty."

Link, please. I am from Louisiana and worked for Dow Chemical before retiring, so have a reasonable knowledge of salt domes. As long as they are filled with brine, they won't collapse. The oil is pumped in and floats above the brine (forcing brine out of the dome). To remove oil, the brine is pumped back in, forcing the oil out. The only thing that I know could cause collapse is if some idiot pumps in air by mistake.

It was posted here (I had no idea it is stored in such fashion), unf I can’t find that article.

While looking for it-I did find the GOP response, the WH response and a pdf that may be topical maybe not.
