  1. President Houseplant sends a 50M barrel signal of his ignorance; because, “We can’t drill our way out of this.”

    That only worked for Trump.

    1. 2.43 days worth based on US consumption in 2020. kind of like thinking that pissing in an Olympic sized pool will raise the water level.

      1. Ha. Olympic sized pool with his hairy leg hairs popping back up black.
        Thousands of Americans will get very cold as refineries try to increase productivity, and who will it. “FLIP THE SWITCH” (Majic Wand dumb-Ass Witcher) back to a survival level. Socialist still trying to fucki around with our lives.
        TIME TO PUT IN A ST0P SWITCH.

        1. And what delivery driver ‘80,000 short ‘ will bring it to your home or electronic halfbred system.
          We need Opening Season, 12 bag day limited

  2. already short more than 100 million barrels, they are going to release another 50 million, and then another, and then another until it’s empty…

    it’ll also have the effect of temporarily lowering oil prices, but then will have to be refilled with more expensive oil later

  3. And then?
    Releasing your reserves in a real emergency,well that is why you create and store reserves..
    But you better have plans to boost production cause emergencies have a habit of popping up when you least expect..
    Here the “emergency” is Sleepy Joes cabals Popularity,even amongst crusted on Liberals..
    If the living population keeps noting the incompetence and malice of this government…well the Demon-rats will have to get more votes from further back in time..
    Not sure how they “poll” those “voters”,but that is the Fake Newz Companies task..
    I forget how many Civil War veterans voted for Joe.
    Some 80 million?
    I remember now,Joe was so popular with the Demons that he scored more votes amongst Americans than the Holy One itself..
    I still snigger at that,using Democrat math,Obama’s elections were obviously a result of Joe Biden’s incredible popularity with Black Americans..For when Joe ran alone,he blew Obama’s results into history..

  4. Nothing strategic about it. It’s a temporary fix not unlike printing money to spend your way out of the clusterF you created.
    Once the strategic reserves are depleted…Hello Green alternatives!!!!! Which is what they’re pining for.

    1. Once the strategic reserves are depleted, say hello to invading foreign armies. I believe that was the primary purpose of those reserves.
      One of the big factors in defeating Nazi Germany was the bombing of refineries and oil infrastructure. No fuel, no fight.

    2. As I keep saying, planned shortages.

      Justin and Biden are Chinese plants and the faces of the North American Vichy government. They are not doing anything insofar as they are allowing something to happen.

      North American oil will not enrich citizens nor will those citizens have much needed fuel.

      The Chinese may have our fuel though at a pittance but we must treat it as a rare commodity and pay accordingly.

  5. Once a Democrat is in office, everything controlled by government exists purely for political purposes. Like the IRS.

  6. I can’t even begin to imagine all the poker bears killed by this. The arctic ocean will be boiling this January.

  7. We play this stupid game every time a dem is ‘president’.

    The next republican president will fill it back up.

  8. Oil will still hit $150/ barrel within the next year or so. When you attempt to eliminate something as essential as oil without even any plans for a viable replacement, don’t expect it to go down in price. This will have the same effect as a naked short position as it will have to be covered, as JD points out above. Buy the dip, if OPEC allows one to happen.

  9. Sadly … gas prices were not yet high enough in Waukesha WI … to price-out a career criminal psycho-killer from filling up his BIG SUV and mowing down white people at 60 mph, burning 7mpg as he went on his hate filled drive

  10. I actually LOVED what the 2008 gas prices did for CA freeways when gas prices rose to $5.00/gal. It cleared out all the riffraff and made freeway travel a joy. Sadly, I believe it will take $7.00/gal. gasoline to achieve that sort of culling of the herd in 2021.

    1. I’m guessing you’re one of the 70% of Americans who show strong and enthusiastic support for mass transit in the opinion polls. Of course the vast majority of Americans support mass transit, they’re all hoping everybody else takes mass transit and leaves the roads to themselves. They’ll trot out the polling numbers for mass transit every time the subject comes up without noting that everybody favors mass transit for everybody else because they dang sure ain’t planning on using it.

      1. Mass transit.
        Sorta like that high speed train to nowhere in Cali.
        Another White Elephant.
        I think the Commies version of mass transit is everyone on a bicycle.

  11. WAIT….WHAT?!?!
    How is this possible?
    Wasn’t the USA energy independent only 3 yrs ago?
    What changed since then?
    (sarc)

    1. as of a year ago it still was….

      and now it isn’t, and somehow the regime thinks that releasing 11.3 days worth of outflows 13 days from now, will somehow reduce the price of gas…

    1. of course it is, because 13 days from now the first flows will happen, for a total of 11.3 days, and then 24.3 days from now the market will go back to normal…

      and the WTI price is for a January 2022 delivery, which is outside the 25 day window…

  12. Too bad that there wasn’t a readily available supply in a friendly country that was close by and had the technical expertise to extract the product. That would help a lot. Oh well, I guess that doesn’t exist. Stupid Liberals

    1. I look for Climate Nutters to propose hitting the tar sands with a tactical nuke, so those planet-threatening fossil fuels will be unusable for a few centuries. They are a death cult.

      1. Meanwhile, I just read a Canadian Press article that claims oil drilling in Canada is set to increase by 25% in 2022.
        Labour shortages may hamper that goal, though.
        Eco warriors and the Liberals may hamper that goal, too.

  13. Trump fixed this if I recall. Leave to Democrats to turn it to shite… on purpose.
    Everything that party does is pure evil.

  14. USA petroleum consumed 18M bbl/day -2020
    Canada exported 3.7Mbbl/day to US-2019
    50Mbbl from reserves is how many days?

    Sarah says drill baby drill.
    Donny says frack that.

  15. https://ourfiniteworld.com/2007/07/02/speech-from-1957-predicting-peak-oil/
    From Gail Tverberg, July 2, 2007… Something to contemplate in today’s world.

    Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover gave an amazing speech in 1957 that predicted many of the energy-related issues we are now dealing with. Among other things, the speech talks about
    • The relationship between fossil fuels and economic growth.
    • The relationship between fossil fuels and military power.
    • The fact that oil, natural gas, and coal are expected to peak, and the approximate timeframe.
    • The responsibility of Rickover’s generation to tell later generations about the fact that fossil fuels will deplete, so that they can start very early making plans for the difficult transition away from fossil fuels.

  16. You constrict the supply and are surprised the price goes up. You print money and shut down businesses and claim the inflation is “transitory”. And all my left leaning friends told me this time is different because everyone is doing it.

  17. The assumption on the part of the politicians and the media cartel probably is that the plebeians hear 50 million barrels.
    Sounds pretty big, don’ it?
    Well as very old white guy wrote, November 23, 2021 at 1:09 pm, it will be good for 3 days max.
    If the plebeians are not curious, they will never know and will be happy in their ignorance.

    The politicians know that and the media cartel will help out.

    Just another little bit to screw the masses.
