[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The need for topping off the SPR is being reduced every day by our economy shifting to clean EV’s.

Why bother investing in keeping a supply of filthy oil, when we as a nation are shifting to renewable and zero-emission options? The SPR is a thing of the past - a dinosaur! :)[/quote]

Does this mean that when the US gets involved with a ground war in the Middle East, we can only use tanks when its sunny out, or at a range of no more than 30 miles? Will there be charging stations stations along the way?[/quote]

You misunderstand the purpose of the strategic petroleum reserve. [/quote]

You know who misunderstood the purpose of the SPR?  Biden. 
It's not intended to be accessed when gas prices go high because of one's policies and to bring down prices prior to midterm elections.

Per Reuters:

"The United States created the SPR in 1975 after the Arab oil embargo spiked gasoline prices and damaged the U.S. economy. Presidents have tapped the stockpile to calm oil markets during war or when hurricanes hit oil infrastructure along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico."
