Biden Changes Tune, Opposes Offshore Drilling
... snip ...
Biden flatly told voters this afternoon that he opposes offshore drilling for oil and gas
... snip ...
He also said the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which holds more than 700 million barrels of oil, should be emptied into the retail market to lower gas prices.
Think about it folks. The US probably paid a fraction of the current price of oil to fill the strategic oil reserve. If we empty it, are going to have to fill it back up at $150 a barrel? Does that make ANY sense? Or does Biden think we don't have to fill it back up? Doesn't emptying it put America's national security at risk? Do democrat's not care about national security? Are they so intent on not drilling that they would risk national security to avoid it? Given the stranglehold that environmental wackos like Jodie Evans have on the democrat Party, perhaps that's the sad truth. :D
