President Biden’s reckless handling of America’s emergency oil stockpile left taxpayers on the hook for $100 million in repairs. Energy Secretary Chris Wright exposed how Biden drained nearly half the Strategic Petroleum Reserve before the 2022 midterms to manipulate gas prices. This political stunt damaged critical infrastructure and weakened national security.
Biden sold off 180 million barrels of emergency oil to create a fake “price drop” before the elections. His administration ignored warnings about overloading aging pumps and salt cavern storage systems built in the 1970s. The rushed withdrawals wrecked equipment, leaving facilities in disrepair. Taxpayers now face a massive bill to fix what Biden broke.
This wasn’t about helping struggling families—it was about saving Democrat seats. Biden abused the reserve for short-term polling gains instead of using it for real emergencies. Energy experts warned the move risked collapsing storage sites and crippling our energy safety net. Biden didn’t care—he put politics above protecting America.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve exists to shield us from wars or disasters, not to bail out failing politicians. Biden’s team treated it like a piggy bank for their election schemes. Draining the reserve so fast damaged pumps and caverns that hadn’t been stress-tested in decades. It’s like revving a classic car’s engine until it blows up.
Previous presidents spent decades carefully stockpiling oil for true crises. Biden burned through nearly half the reserve in three years—wiping out 26 years of careful planning. His energy policies left us vulnerable to foreign threats and soaring prices. Now China and Russia are laughing as we beg OPEC for oil.
Today, the reserve holds just 399 million barrels—far below its 715 million capacity. Refilling it will take years and cost billions. Every dollar wasted on repairs is a dollar stolen from roads, schools, or border security. Biden’s mismanagement hurt workers and helped our enemies.
Conservatives are fighting to restore energy independence and repair Biden’s damage. Secretary Wright is leading efforts to fix the infrastructure and rebuild our reserves. But the scars from Biden’s recklessness will haunt America for years.
Real leaders don’t sacrifice national security for cheap political tricks. Biden’s SPR abuse shows how far leftists will go to cling to power. Patriots demand accountability—and a return to policies that put America first, not partisan games.
