2012 Barry/Beijing Biden oil reserve flashback…..

 

"Tapping the oil reserve is bad policy" 03/08/2012

some highlights:

"for the president to drain the SPR to counteract price increases when his own energy policies are the single greatest supply interruption."

 

"This action threatens our ability to respond to a genuine national security crisis and means we must ultimately find the resources to replenish the reserve — at significant cost to taxpayers.”

 

"Instead of tapping the SPR, he should increase drilling on public land, lift the de facto moratorium on offshore drilling, APPROVE THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE, open new offshore areas to drilling and begin to review and roll back policies that cause regulatory delays without corresponding public benefits. These policies would increase our oil supply over the long-term — reducing prices and our dependence on foreign oil."
