Our nation’s strategic energy reserves should be used in cases of emergency, not political expediency. In the run up to the 2022 elections, President Biden drained millions upon millions of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). These withdrawals were so massive they dropped our reserves to their lowest level in roughly 40 years. Taking such action without having a clear plan to replenish the reserve erodes our national security. Many, including myself, found the timing to be suspect. It is inappropriate for any president, no matter their party, to use our emergency stockpiles to influence an election.
