39 days is all that is left of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Teabaggers, as usual, are crying wolf.

39 days is all that is left of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve​

It's like a grocer or a farmer claiming THAT'S IT, were out of food in 39 days.
Not going to our own grocery store, slaughtering any of our herd or harvesting any of our crops.
We will starve.
 
Biden ordered the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to send in Last July 2022, in a sale of 39 million barrels from the SPR that was part of the 180 million-barrel release, 1 million barrels went to UNIPEC America, a Houston-based arm of China's Sinopec. Owned by CCP.

The United States consumes about 20 million barrels of oil per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. As of 2021, the U.S. produces about 11 million barrels per day.
US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Stocks

YCharts - Financial Research and Proposal Platform › indicators › us_ending_stocks_of...
US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Stocks is at a current level of 351.28M, up from 350.98M last week and down from 422.58M one year ago.
So if the USA has to use 9 million barrels a day from the SPR that means just 39 days supply left.

What happens when US runs out of oil?
All public transport, including planes, trains and buses, would come to a grinding halt. Industry is would be hit very hard; millions would lose their jobs. Food production would also suffer on an incredible scale and hundreds of millions would starve to death as a result.
What a stupid thread.

This assumes that the largest producer of oil on the planet (us) suddenly produces zero oil.

It assumes that we can import Zero oil.

Just pure garbage

No what a stupid and truly ignorant comment!
It doesn't assume the USA suddenly (Suddenly??? one hour, one day, etc. stops? how stupid!) stops.
The Thread points out the stupidity of Biden and people like you that make gross exaggerations and stupid without thinking comments!
The point is that Biden using oil from the SPR while halting oil production on federal land is hurting all of us including dummies like you. And I'm not saying this, the experts are!
This dumb ass president AFTER doing this:
1) Shutting down a major oil pipeline from Canada that would have provide secure oil production.
2) Biden to Halt New Fracking, Oil Leases on Federal Land
Biden to Halt New Fracking, Oil Leases on Federal Land
In 2021, approximately 25% of total US oil production came from federal territory. In the same year,
How much oil and gas comes from federal territory?.
So Biden then does this:

Biden releases more oil from strategic reserve to help lower gas prices​

After stopping in essence 25% of oil production on Federal land, the idiot seeing gas prices increase uses the SPR!

Now this is just plain stupidity on Biden's part and on people like you that don't THINK!

Yeah but Biden needed to lower gas prices in order to get re-elected and there are no world emergencies that we couldn't handle. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot about last week. Reserves are reserves for a reason. Biden is a dumb fuck.
 
It was used to lower the price of gas.

A worthy objective
Not a purpose for the SPR, and you mean AFTER Biden announced his insane plan to destroy oil.....Right?

I mean, come on now, Biden completely blows up the price of gas in this country and then amidst backlash uses our SPR to falsely lower the price, instead of admitting he was wrong to so abruptly cut off supply here....What a buffoon....
 

History of SPR Releases

Department of Energy (.gov)
https://www.energy.gov › ceser › history-spr-releases
The SPR issued a Notice of Sale on June 24, 2011, to solicit competitive offers for the purchase of 30 million barrels of sweet crude oil to be delivered by the ...
“The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil was established primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products and to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program.”


Disruptions in supply, that Biden himself caused…Not helping your case.
 
In order to believe that we only have 39 days worth of fuel in the SPR, you have to think that it would be our only source of oil.

That’s as ridiculous as this thread
ARE YOU that stupid?
MY thread pointed out CLEARLY this FACT!
  • The United States consumes about
    20 million barrels of oil per day,
    according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
  • As of 2021, the U.S. produces about 11 million barrels per day.
Now for some very simple arithmetic !
  • The USA USES 20 million barrels per day
  • The USA produces 11 million barrels per day.
  • That leaves 9 million barrels NON-USA produced, i.e. imported... UNDERSTAND???
Now if the USA can't get the imported 9 million barrels per day... DUH... that's what the SPR was for!

NOW DUMMY! If the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Stocks is at a current level of 351.28M
AGAIN very simple arithmetic ... Divide 351.28 million by 9 million equals duh 39 days supply.
So if the USA can't import 9 million barrels and as a result 9 million barrels be used per day from SPR!
That would mean regardless of when... That means there are only 39 days before our oil requirements
would be diminished by 45%! (Daily use 9 million of 20 million imported is stopped.. 45% total oil per day used by the USA. After the 39th day of using 9 million barrels from the SPR...where will 45% of oil demand come from?
GEEZ and then the dumb ass president of the 180 million-barrel release, 1 million barrels went to UNIPEC America, a Houston-based arm of China's Sinopec. Owned by CCP.
Dummies like you are so ignorant of reality!

So it went from 46 days to 39 days...

You are right that is a problem... GOP can't get Speaker of the House elected after 12 days...

So could you tell us what event would cause us to regret this massive shortage..
 
Total LIE!!
Why don't you check the internet before you write a lie or show your ignorance???

From the government web sites!
(EPCA) gives authority to the President under specified conditions to direct the Secretary of Energy to conduct a public sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Section 161 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) gives authority to the President under specified conditions to direct the Secretary of Energy to conduct a public sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. DOE sells SPR oil in a competitive auction to the highest bidder.
The Department may initiate a sale to respond to a severe energy supply interruption, to prevent or address lesser supply shortages or to conduct evaluations of drawdown and sales procedures. The Statutory Authority for an SPR Drawdown outlines the EPCA requirements for an authorized sale and drawdown.
NOW dummy!!!


Department of Energy Executes On Direction Of President Trump, Announces Solicitation To Purchase Crude Oil For The SPR To Provide Relief To American Energy Industry​

WASHINGTON, D.C. – At the direction of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the Department of Energy (DOE) will fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to its maximum capacity by purchasing 77 million barrels of American-made crude oil. Today, DOE announced a solicitation for the purchase of an initial 30 million barrels to begin filling the SPR. Solicitations for additional purchases will follow.
So you are capable of telling the truth sometimes. Congrats.
