The Biden administration is touting its decision to drain America’s emergency oil reserves to historically low levels—and sell millions of barrels to China and other foreign entities—as one of its “top accomplishments in 2022.”
President Joe Biden’s Energy Department in a Dec. 23 press release included its release of “190 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve” as second on its list of top 2022 accomplishments. The department said the reserve sales protected “global energy security”—a far cry from its reasoning behind the sales in April, when the department said a release of 30 million reserve barrels would aid domestic consumers by addressing “the pain Americans are feeling at the pump.”
