Joe Biden’s reckless energy policies, including a relentless war on US oil, have now seriously undercut national security.
To wit, the US Energy Information Agency just pegged the nation’s supply of emergency oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at just 351 million barrels — about half its capacity.
...
That’s the lowest the SPR has been in 40 years, providing enough to last only 17 days in a national emergency.
What a time to run low!
The Middle East may erupt any day, threatening oil exports from the region; Russian oil remains banned as its war in Ukraine rages on.
Yet Biden’s done everything in his power to halt domestic oil production, to please the Green extreme.
His team actually just bragged that they’re planning for just three potential oil and gas lease sales on federal territory — the “fewest” in “history” — over the next five years.
Their program “phases down oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico,” a Biden press release boasts, including “zero oil and gas lease sales in the Atlantic, Pacific and Alaskan waters.” Great.
That followed the cancellation of seven leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and a push to severely limit leasing in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
US oil production has already fallen by as much as 3 million barrels a day, or nearly 20%, from its Trump-era trajectory

WELL WTF..... that’s the plan!!
The American people need to declare war o the Biden-Obama axis. Our nation can’t rely on a woke Congress to clean out the rat’s nest. There are only a handful of Conservatives.

I instantly knew that the cost of energy was going up. The more energy it takes to make something the more important it became to stock up.
The bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the MSM didn't object or raise questions about draining our petroleum reserves because they're just as corrupt and horrible as Biden.
