WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden is preparing to order the release of up to 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve, according to two people familiar with the decision, in a bid to control energy prices that have spiked as the U.S. and allies have imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of UkraineThe announcement could come as soon as Thursday, when the White House says Biden is planning to deliver remarks on his administration’s plans to combat rising gas prices. The duration of the release hasn’t been finalized but could last for several months. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity

It's the "strategic oil reserve," for use in the event of national emergencies. It is not supposed to be used for political gain in the event of increased prices due to imbecilic policies. Let's go Brandon.

NO, that is not what it is for. OPEN UP our vast natural resources and in time this too shall pass. But with the FJB clown car administration we are heading for an energy/food shortage nightmare. But you can be sure the elite will have access to gas and food. No public transportation or crickets for them. FJB

This just in from the AP (TASS). Biden may release oil equivalent to a day or two use of energy. He knows this will have no effect on the cost to U.S. citizens. He knows how to solve this problem because he caused it. His actions also allowed Putin to fund the atrocities in the Ukraine. If you voted for this man and his crime family…any regrets?

Cheap political gimmick by Biden to lower gas prices just for the election. President Trump made a great deal and filled the strategic reserve fuel for a very low cost. He did it to protect America in the case of a worldwide embargo or other economic emergency to guarantee the American economy would continue to thrive. Biden is draining a wartime resource that wont do squat for his approval or our economy. Another America last move by Democrats!

Sounds like a great idea as he puts us on the verge of WW3.
Biden has hated America ever since he got laughed out of the race in 1987. FJB punishes us everyday as payback.

These sinister devils are planning to drain our supplies while denying us the ability to replenish them to force us to switch to renewables, which we have neither the desire, nor the infrastructure to do.

His alleged 81 million voters should be quite happy that Biden is keeping his 2020 campaign promise “to get rid of fossil fuels”. Draini;g the strategic oil reserve is part of his plan, as is having the Federal Reserve, US Treasury and the Energy Department doing all they can to prevent banks from lending to oil and natural gas companies. And in not appealing a bizarre ruling by a federal judge that climate change must be considered when issuing drilling permits. Perhaps Biden will keep another of his delusional campaign promises by putting oil company executives “in jail” for endangering the climate.
Biden is not only a corrupt and inept politician, he’s an extremely dangerous one. FJB.

The oil reserve is there for the national security of the USA! It is not there for any politico's destructive political agenda which will weaken America's national security!!! This is especially true when the politico initiates the oil shortage disaster himself!

So Republican leadership, do you have a serious comment on this or will you stand whining in a microphone which is your usual response and then add, we’ll get ‘em in November! Just you wait and see! How about educating the public? Tell them PDT filled the reserves when he was President because he managed to secure a great deal and knew the importance of having a good solid reserve supply if we needed it. Remind them he made it a priority to be energy independent. Put this whole mess on Biden and the democrats. It’s not going to be a hard sell because Americans know what is happening every time we pump gas. Just reinforce the fact that democrats have destroyed all the good we were experiencing under President Trump’s leadership. Point out that democrats are busy destroying our way of life with every single policy decision they make. The Republican base is sick of the pathetic leadership you are showing. It is time to go on the offensive. This is how we win. Of course, that is assuming you actually want to win.

Stupid GD idiot. The petroleum reserve is for real emergencies. Trump filled it up, and now it's going to have to be refilled at double the price. "Brandon" deserves to be run out of town with a flamethrower on his pants seat. What an insult he is. Destroy him.

There will be millions of vehicles deserted along the highways of America when people run out of gas looking for a windmill to fill the tank. That's the stupidity of anyone who believed we could throw a switch somewhere in Washington DC........

Joe will drain the oil reserves, PPE stocks and anything else he can to make the country weaker. November cannot come soon enough. Then, maybe we can ditch the installed WH occupants and put the Speaker of the GOP controlled House of Representatives in place to get the country back on track by putting America First.

More of his plan to destroy our energy and foce us to go electric.
Releasing the reserves means when they are depleted and we need them they won't be there and only electric tanks and warplanes will be left to fight with.
Think about that. This man will destroy us. It appears to be deliberate.

The amount of oil that could be released won't even amount to one week relief at the gas pump. A price drop of maybe three cents for a few days is a fool's errand. Fraud Biden hates fossil fuel his dream is to see all of us using electric golf carts before he dies but, it won't ever happen. AOC and the squad have Joe's nuts in a green lock box he will not do the right thing and drill or open pipelines, never.

Then there won’t be a strategic oil reserve anymore which is a part of the Democrat plan to do away with fossil fuels, so you should not be surprised!
