“So after 50 years of being virtually empty, I built up our oil reserves during my administration, and low energy prices, to 100% full. It’s called the Strategic National Reserves, and it hasn’t been full for many decades. In fact, it’s been mostly empty. It’s supposed to only be used for large-scale emergency or conflict. Now I see where Biden has just announced he’s going to take what we so carefully and magically built, and what will be a futile attempt to reduce oil and gasoline prices. They will soon bring it down to empty again. It just never ends!”
President Donald J. Trump

ReplyDeleteFirst, it’s called the "Strategic Petroleum Reserve." Beyond that, the stockpile has been entirely full as recently as the early 2010s, and for almost a decade before Trump took office, the stockpile was generally 90% full or higher. Meanwhile, the percentage filled actually fell on Trump’s watch.
We rate the statement False."

Biden's move is also being criticized by economists and will do little to impact gas prices long term they say.

ReplyDeleteI've heard some very interesting discussions lately, on the difficulty of transitioning to a green economy.
It seems it's impossible in the short term, and very difficult in the long term.
So why are we approaching this with such an unbalanced, virtually split personality approach.
Because that's the way we do everything!
