The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

Don't be foolish the reserves are there for time of war.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

we should open most everything and the pipeline.... Sure tired of people jacking up prices on us little guys. and want us to donate at the same time. If Biden wants GREEN then provide it to use and we will use the CHEAPEST!!! Its not rocket science.

This is just ludicrous. We have the largest oil fields in the world, yet since Biden took over, we are now again dependent on world oil prices instead of our own. We wouldn't have to touch our reserves and still have cheap gas and oil. But Forrest Gump said it best " stupid is what stupid does!"

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Perhaps this is the plan. Raise the price of gas so they can justify using our reserves and leave us at the mercy of our enemies.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

There is not enough in storage to make a difference in the supply but for a few days. It is more of a political gesture than problem solving measure.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Using those reserves is virtue signaling. The amount they released last time didn't make a dent in the cost. Those reserves are for military use. If this admin hadn't screwed it up we would still be energy independent like we were with the previous admin. We wouldn't be having the conversation.

Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel.

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.
