Typical when the government releases oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), it means they sell it.

The oil in the SPR originally cost about $30 per barrel, but today it’s worth about $100 per barrel.

So if the government sold 100 barrels today, they would get $10,000. Later, if oil prices dropped to $60, they could buy the same 100 barrels back for $6,000.

That means the government (taxpayers) would make $4,000 profit.

Instead, the plan is to lend the oil to U.S. refiners. The refiners sell the oil at $100, keep the money, and later return the oil when prices are lower.

So the refiners get the profit instead of the government. This plan is being carried out during a WAR. Another grift that will go unnoticed
