The more one looks the worse Biden and his rabble administration are. Just one giant clusterfuck.
President Joe Biden’s continuous sales of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) could have severe consequences for taxpayers, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“We filled the SPR at $60 a barrel … and now we’re looking to replenish at $90, meaning there is still a $30 per barrel delta, and we have sold millions and millions of barrels,” Daniel Turner, executive director of Power The Future, told the DCNF. “Biden is fleecing taxpayers to save the midterms.”
SPR barrels that need to be replaced will be bought back by the Department of Energy (DOE) at a fixed price of $90, in accordance with the DOE’s
final rule-making, which could be higher than the market rate in the future. The Biden administration claims that by giving producers assurances about future oil prices they will increase their production levels and investments in SPR barrels.
“If the previous president had sold this scheme, the media would have crucified him as being in the pocket of ‘big oil,'” said Turner.

“We are draining the SPR at an incredibly fast rate and we are still seeing large draws in commercial crude stocks,” Tracy Shuchart, a partner at Intelligence Quarterly, told the DCNF. “Expect higher for longer energy prices.”
The White House and DOE did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
