US to Buy Large Quantities of Oil for Reserve

Public Policy

President Donald Trump has directed the U.S. Energy Department to buy “large quantities” of oil for the government’s strategic petroleum reserve following this week’s crash in oil prices.

“We’re going to fill it right up to the top,” Trump said in a briefing on the coronavirus outbreak, adding that he’s instructed the Energy Department to buy crude “at a very good price.” Oil lobbyists had been pressing the Trump administration to make purchases for the reserve as U.S. shale drillers face the worst crude market collapse in a generation.

Buying oil for the reserves means “saving the American taxpayers billions of dollars” and “helping our oil industry,” Trump said. It will also, he said, bring the nation further toward its goal of achieving energy independence.

    Wait a minute, I thought Rigporn, or one of its clones was reporting to us that the US, aka ‘trump’ wanted to sell a bunch of oil from the reserve. Supposedly, the money would help fund the uSgov operations…somehow. Now, I read the plan to add to the reserve. LoL.

    It just seemed like week the plan was to sell. Oh wait, thats because it was a week ago….

    Anon, don’t try to make sense of the actions of Trump or any of the demented Congress. It is a waste of energy. There is nothing logical about Amerika these days. But then, what can you expect of a country when a senile, mentally deficient/deranges old man is actually running for Prez? i even read that Ms Obama may be his running mate. I hope they test her/his genes to see if she is really female, not just medical construct. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Right now in America, it is easier to get an AR-15 than a test kit for COVID-19.

    A lot easier——

    *ALL* of the Dead Sea Sscrolls in Washington D.C.’s Museum of the Bible are forgeries.

    All. 16. Of. Them.

    Collectors, scholars and museum experts were all duped by fakes made in modern times.

    Well, as Mao pointed out (correctly):
    Religion is poison

    Religion used to be opium for the masses. Now opioids are the religion for the masses. Evolution can be strange in its hits and misses.
