So the strategic oil reserves are strategic as in when a President needs to use it for political advantage ?? Your politicians are even worse than ours
Our actual strategic oil reserve is that if push comes to shove we'll go take the oil we need from wherever we decide to take it from at the point of a very large gun.
It has been used in this very way several times in my life. This is not a new trick that Biden came up with.

Not like this, it hasn't. Biden was a moron to scuttle the Keystone XL pipeline. The degree to which the democrats have painted America into a corner in the past 2 years is astonishing. Biden's recent moves are just thrashing as he tries to escape the consequences of his earlier decisions.
I had to fix a lot of stupid **** you posted to make it accurate. You should try to post more accurate information. It's almost like you're being intellectually dishonest on purpose.I'm pretty dumb and I say dumb things a lot. Biden revoked permits for the Keystone XL pipeline which hasn't contributed at all to our current oil supply and has not had any effect on oil prices at all. The degree to which the democrats have painted America into a corner in the past 2 years is non-existent. Biden's recent moves are just honest efforts as he tries to escape the consequences of Trump's earlier decisions.

If Tucker Carlson got infected with an incurable flesh eating virus that took 60 days to end his life with the pain increasing bit by bit every day I would feel like he got off easy, I would also have 60 days to enjoy watching his program for the first time ever.

You may not like it but the information is accurate. The chart is directly from the EIA. it is real. The permits for the half-completed Keystone XL pipeline were revoked by the Biden administration. At the time of permit revocation it was on track to be operational in mid-2022. As far as how that would have affected the price of oil, I don't think it would have and never claimed any such thing. The chart is in reference to inventory and I do think having that big pipeline in a functional condition would be a very helpful piece of the supplying-inventory puzzle right about now. We don't have that piece thanks to the Biden administration.
He killed Keystone XL because oil causes climate change. His stated purpose in wrecking the project was to starve us of oil to fight climate change. These low inventory levels aren't a side effect. They were the goal. Now that we do have record low inventories, Biden is scrambling to turn the taps back on because it turns out our economy runs on oil. When you purposely take steps to starve the US of oil, as a side effect it destroys the economy.
From the inventory levels, to the chart depicting it, to the party responsible for killing off the Keystone XL pipeline, to the stated reasons for doing so, to the recent efforts to restore supply are in any way intellectually dishonest on my part. You just don't like reality. The democrat majority controlled house, democrat majority controlled senate, and democrat president have done incredible damage to the economy in the past two years and the American voters appear ready to have their say on it.

What a foolish take. No concern whatsoever for the future of our planet. Yeah, we need more tar sands oil…
What Is the Keystone XL Pipeline?
How a single pipeline project became the epicenter of an enormous environmental, public health, and civil rights battle.

Not to worry. Those same oil giants have no intention of thinking of the planet:
Revealed: the ‘carbon bombs’ set to trigger catastrophic climate breakdown
Exclusive: Oil and gas majors are planning scores of vast projects that threaten to shatter the 1.5C climate goal. If governments do not act, these firms will continue to cash in as the world burns

1) How much oil do we distill on a daily basis?
2) How much would the Keystone pipeline have added to that?
1) About 94,000,000 barrels
2) About 800,000 barrels, less than 1%
2) About 800,000 barrels, less than 1%
That's not even including that the oil would have been low-quality.
Keeping inventory on premisis is costly, so refineries are keeping less. Biden caused that how?
FIFY. Any question in my mind was over when he lied about the contents of sociology texts, which links I'd provided for him, as if I hadn't read them.

17.9 million barrels per day.
The Keystone XL pipeline could have supplied closer to 5% of that number but instead it can now be used to supply 0% thanks to Biden. That 5% may not seem like much but it is more than enough to make up the entire difference between our inventory levels rising day over day, and our inventory levels falling day over day. In the effort to stave off climate change, the democrat majority controlled house, democrat majority controlled senate, and democrat president deliberately put us in this position. This wasn't some accident that happened to democrats and it wasn't the doing of the previous administration.

Google is so easy to use.
Keystone XL pipeline was expected to transport 830,000 barrels of Alberta tar sands oil per day to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas. From the refineries, the oil would be sent chiefly overseas—not to gasoline pumps in the United States.

Yes, because at the time that was written the United States was energy independent. That is no longer the case. There is already pipeline infrastructure to route oil from the refineries to wherever it needs to go and it could easily be rerouted from the sea terminals. Now the oil going to sea terminals or elsewhere is mute because Biden killed the Keystone XL so the oil never makes it into the system at all. That was the whole point. Supposedly if they could cut it off at the source then we wouldn't have it to burn it so they cut it off. Now we are seeing the impacts of that deliberate decision in our inventory levels.

Keystone XL would have passed through Nebraska, and for years, a coalition of Indigenous tribes, ranchers and local environmentalists demonstrated, lobbied and sued to halt the pipeline's construction. Its proposed route in Nebraska cut through the Ogallala Aquifer, the groundwater source for millions of Plains states residents.
The pipeline's opponents in Nebraska feared that any leak from Keystone XL would damage the critical aquifer, and they welcomed the end of the project.
"On behalf of our Ponca Nation we welcome this long overdue news and thank all who worked so tirelessly to educate and fight to prevent this from coming to fruition. It's a great day for Mother Earth," Larry Wright Jr., chairman of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, said in a statement.

Keystone XL would carry crude derived from Alberta's oil sands. The deposits are not in underground reservoirs like conventional petroleum. Instead, they're a tarry fossil fuel called bitumen that's mixed in with clay, sand, rock and together, can be hard as a hockey puck. To access the bitumen, Alberta's boreal forests are cut away in enormous strip mines. Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, have benefited economically from the oil sands mining. But they also grapple with the destruction of Alberta's forests and health effects that some researchers say could be linked to the strip mining.
Extracting the bitumen and diluting for shipment requires energy, most of it from burning fossil fuels. That makes oil sands crude more carbon-intensive — and worse for the climate — than conventional petroleum.
TC Energy's pipeline system in the northern Great Plains experienced a series of leaks of tens of thousands of gallons of oil.

5% of that number would be 895,000 barrels per day, but our idle capacity is only 154,800, and tar sands oil is resource-intensive. Who's refining that surplus?17.9 million barrels per day.
The Keystone XL pipeline could have supplied closer to 5% of that number
Actually, less than 1%, considering the idle capacity of our refineries.

The decision to do that or not do that is up to the Canadians. They made the decision to go forward. Our decision was only on if we should allow that oil to flow into our network. Biden decided he didn’t want that oil in our network and that decision, as intended, is being reflected in our inventory levels.
I have no doubt about there being granola-types who opposed Keystone XL. The country has always had weird cults who believe crazy things. Some wear Nikes while waiting for the comet. Some drink Kool-Aid. Some refuse to have babies in the name of saving the planet, and some want to reduce the amount of oil entering our system. The American voters have had enough of putting in power those who do the bidding of the lunatic fringe, and thankfully they appear set to vote them out.

It would have been the refineries who invested the money into increasing capacity to handle the Keystone XL oil, but the investments to increase capacity never happened because there was no Keystone XL oil to refine. Reducing all of this was their stated goal, and they accomplished it. Only now they have belatedly realized maybe damaging the economy wasn't such a good goal to accomplish.
