Instead of depleting the SPR when not necessary and risking the need to refill it at high prices, govt should only deplete the SPR when necessary and quickly refill it when oil is cheap. Sadly, in 2020 Congress blocked refilling the SPR at $24/barrel, crying "oil bailout." https://t.co/LBsXsxaSNr — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s depletion of the SPR is not only a security threat but also an economic threat. If oil prices stay high, which Biden’s and other anti-oil policies make more likely, refilling the SPR could drive them significantly higher and create a global price shock. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s goal in dangerously depleting the SPR is clearly to lower gasoline prices to help his party’s election prospects—the same goal he had when he asked OPEC+ to delay production cuts for just 1 month so that subsequent price increases would happen post-election. https://t.co/ux9BPwqy6K — PolitiTweet.org
