After Depleting Oil Reserve, Biden’s Energy Department Refuses to Fill It Back Up

The Biden administration released some 180 million barrels of oil from America’s emergency stockpile ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, ostensibly to try to get a grip on the skyrocketing price of gas at the pump, with the reserve subsequently tumbling to its lowest levels since 1983.

Tasked with the purchase of three million barrels of sour crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in February, the US Department of Energy has reportedly rejected multiple offers from producers, hoping to get a better deal.

Informed sources told US business media that the offers the DoE has received so far have been turned down due to prices being deemed too high, and for failing to meet other requirements, which were not outlined in any detail.

The failure to get a deal means the purchase will be put off until an unspecified later date, the Energy Department has confirmed in a statement.

🇷🇺💪Russian soldiers punished a Polish T-72M AFU tank near Artemovsk (Bahmut)

The enemy tank probably caught a rocket-propelled grenade. Or an anti-tank missile.
