Smart?
Of the 50 million barrels (not gallons) 18 million were
already allocated in the BBB "Infrastructure bill to be sold to help pay for it.
From what I heard today, he also sold the remaining 32 million barrels. NONE of it went to the American public. I cannot confirm that last part, but it seems reasonable to believe that the smoke and mirror Democrats would do exactly something like that.
That oil was in storage to be used in an emergency like a war. That's why it's called the "Strategic Reserve". There's nothing strategic about how 50 million barrels were just squandered.
Oh, and 50 million barrels is only a 2 and a half day supply for the United States at our present level of consumption. So exactly HOW would it have helped anyone?
Fact #676: U.S. Refiners Produce about 19 Gallons of Gasoline from a Barrel of Oil. A standard U.S. barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil which yields about 44 gallons of petroleum products. The additional 2 gallons of petroleum products come from refiner gains which result in an additional 6% of product.
