Biden Using Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Ship Oil to Asia

Joe didn't tell us that in order to build back you first have to destroy and that is what he is doing....they don't care about us...they are rich and they don't have a care in the world....
 
About 1.6 million barrels of crude from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve — a monthly record — was shipped out in October, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. All three supertankers went to Asia.
“Given the ongoing pace of the current SPR release — 12 million barrels in the last two months and the biggest weekly release so far last week at 3.1 million barrels — it’s fair to assume more SPR barrels are going to leave U.S. shores in the weeks ahead,” said Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler.
As far as I can tell, the administration has not explained why, with Americans struggling to keep up with rising fuel prices, it’s shipping our SPR to Asia. During the virtual meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping, the two men allegedly discussed releasing oil from both countries’ petroleum reserves but made no mention of the sales to Asia that already took place.

WHY???
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s 2021 budget released on Monday proposed a sale of 15 million barrels of oil from the emergency petroleum reserve to help pay for projects overseen by the Department of Energy.
 
And President Trump did that in record time. Carter said energy independence would take ten years to achieve and President Trump did it in less than 2.

but Trump, But Trump...but but but but......your guy is killing this nation. SELLING what oil/petroleum we have to ASIA?? OUR ENEMY!!! And you make excuses for that. There are americans who are going to suffer this winter...but that's okay with the left as long as they know someone on the right suffers.

The left supports every perverse act, every killing of the unborn, every criminal, every pervert, every perversion, Godless..no..GOD HATERS. STuPID Anti America policies. Just Admit you want to destroy this country and anyone who disagrees with your destructive agenda.

He doesn't give a shit because he has no understanding of what it means to be an average person, the people who make up 99% of the country, all he cares about is money and instilling powers to his followers.

I mean the ******* guy ceased a lot of oil production in the USA, then he said gas would go up due to a shortage, then bought oil from Russia, then sold our reserves to China. I can't even begin to understand what the **** he is thinking.

Remind me again what the price of gas was when this was decided.......

Also from the article.

"The budget is largely a political document that serves as a beginning point for negotiations with Congress. But with a long-standing boom in domestic drilling, lawmakers from BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES have supported sales from the reserve this year and next to help fund drug research and improvements at the SPR, where machinery is exposed to moist, salty air."
 
Presidents sell off oil from the strategic reserves and have for years...

I don't see your point; I checked a few mins ago, POTUS has colonoscopy so Kamala takes charge, and I don't believe Trump has colonoscopy.

Anyway, there are a few issues here. When Trump was the POTUS, US was an energy export country. Now, I don't think US is. In fact, did Biden ask China to release their reserves few days ago? Something funny is here.

WHY???
Crude is released to the refineries... They can do with it what they like after they buy it off the government...

The Admin could have a ban on export of oil from US but that could cause even more problems...

The reserve was not set up to do this and is a pretty bad mechanism to try and control global markets.. What it would be, is US Government selling oil below market value... 12 million was just testing the water... It is actually only 2% of the Oil Reserve. But it does show what happens...

This thread is not about Biden's small intestines. The US still exports petroleum products, you would be a fool to think the US doesn't. We also import oil which blows the whole energy independence all to hell and yes, oil imports increased during Trump.

did I saying oil? I said energy. LNG was blooming because of fracking.
Sry, my fd. I had been working in the oil industry for over ten years. I was a code monkey, doing well log digitization stuff (Baker Hughes, IHS, Suncor, ExxonMobil, BP.... were our clients). Before you said anything more, I was studying petroleum engineering before I switched to CS. :rolleyes:
 
Obama: You can’t drill your way out of a shortage

He's right.. Oil production is driven by the ppb and market demand, not by drilling. When the ppb goes high US producers borrow money and invest in leases, exploration and drilling. Remember, the US has the highest production costs in the world.

The oil business is a business not some altruistic exercise.. They are capitalists. You Trumpies are always screaming "Communists, Marxists" and then you demand cheap gas at the pump.
