Joe Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to boost his electoral chances. Not a great move.

We're now refilling it.

Brian Sullivan: Is the price right enough, pun intended I suppose, Mr. Secretary, to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve right now?

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: Absolutely. We are refilling the Reserve now and we will continue to refill the Reserve the whole time I'm in office. You know, that was just such an irresponsible action to drain that reserve so quickly for electoral reasons, and in fact it was drained so fast, it did some damage to the facilities. So right now we can only fill two of the four major salt caverns that we have. So, we're doing repair work on the other two, we're slowly filling the other two, and I'm trying to get some funds through Congress that will give us a longer strategic runway to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at the fastest rate we can.


Biden drained the reserves so fast he actually caused damage to the facilities. Just awesome.
