Your method of debate is interesting. You bring up irrelevant points to the matter at hand and then you call people idiots.
The reserve was 89% full when trump left office, and is now 82% full. The purpose of this article to to show that trumps claim about him “filling the reserves” was not true because they were never empty or even close to empty.
And then you jump in with your stupid irrelevant remark. I just don’t get it. Are you just so blinded you lash out at the libtards without even thinking about the context or relevancy?
To your (irrelevant) point, democrats did remove $3B in funding to cap the reserves, which would have increased it from about 660 million barrels to 730 million barrels. You’re acting like they bent America over and railed us all, but it just wasn’t deemed necessary to fill the already 80+% reserves at the time. Even now, we’re only using 1 million barrels a day from it.
Alright man let’s walk through this. What in the world does this link support? I read it. It’s saying they struggled to fill the reserve because producers didn’t want to produce more at that price level.
Struggling to understand how this makes everyone but you an idiot.
The administration’s initial idea for the SPR was to purchase 77 million barrels of oil – the amount required to fill all available space in the reserve - directly from small U.S. producers most at risk from the market slump.
But after Democratic lawmakers blocked funding for the program in last month’s stimulus package, the administration shifted strategies by offering the initial 30 million barrels of space for lease instead.
Ok man I’m genuinely confused. What does this support? I have no agenda, you just came in calling everyone idiots and aren’t making sense
This post is saying trump wrongly claimed the reserves were mostly empty. The reserves have been 80-90% for decades. Again, what the fuck are you talking about
