Will the US government be able to fortify the strategic reserve?
"The government takes the oil in place of royalty payments energy companies normally make to drill on public land, though some imported crude also goes to the reserve through exchanges to acquire a variety of blends of crude."
The original CNN article posted by KH is almost laughable:
"One Democrat staffer said if all these existing areas were being drilled, U.S. oil production could be boosted by nearly 5 million barrels a day..."
Is the nation going to be led by what "one Democrat staffer" spouts off? I think the author must have needed to meet a story deadline and so pumped this one up with a bunch of air.
