President Biden’s rush to drain America’s emergency oil reserves cost taxpayers $100 million and left our energy security in ruins. Energy Secretary Chris Wright exposed how Biden sold off nearly half the Strategic Petroleum Reserve before the 2022 midterms just to score political points. The reckless move damaged critical storage infrastructure built in the 1970s, putting hardworking Americans at risk.
Biden’s team ignored warnings that pumping oil too fast would wreck the salt caverns and pumps holding our emergency supply. They treated the SPR like a piggy bank to buy votes instead of protecting our nation. Now taxpayers must pay millions to fix the mess while gas prices keep squeezing families.
This wasn’t about helping you—it was about saving Democrat seats in Congress. They flooded the market with emergency oil to temporarily lower prices before the election. Once the votes were counted, prices shot back up. Biden put politics over patriots, weakening America’s energy independence.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is supposed to be for real emergencies, like wars or natural disasters. But Biden used it as a Band-Aid for his failed policies. His war on American energy caused inflation and forced him to raid the SPR. Now our emergency stockpile is at its lowest level in decades.
Secretary Wright says the Trump administration is working to refill the reserve, but the damage is done. Biden’s team ran the SPR like a clunker car—without maintenance or care. The pumps and storage tanks weren’t built for this abuse, and repairs will take years.
Every time you fill your tank, remember Biden’s betrayal. He sacrificed our energy future to cover up his mistakes. While families struggled, he played games with our national security. The SPR is a lifeline, not a political tool—but Biden didn’t care.
Conservatives are fighting to restore American energy dominance. We’ll refill the reserves, fix the infrastructure, and unleash oil production again. Biden’s shortcuts hurt our country, but patriots won’t let him destroy what makes America strong.
The lesson is clear: liberals can’t be trusted with our energy. They’ll drain reserves, block drilling, and blame everyone else when prices rise. Real leaders protect our resources—they don’t waste them for votes. Biden’s SPR scandal proves he’s unfit to lead.
