Granholm [Secretary of Energy, White House press conference]: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve gives us the means to increase supply when the market needs it most…the use of the SPR not only saved American's money, but these releases will end up delivering a return for taxpayers.

[that is absolutely not the purpose of the SPR]

Granholm: It's also helpful for us to be energy-independent, which is exactly what [Biden] would like to see. Homegrown, clean energy, independent, so that we are strong and resilient.
