US Strategic Petroleum Reserve Falls to Lowest Level Since 1982
Original: U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Falls to Lowest Level Since 1982
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has dropped to its lowest level since 1982, following large releases of crude oil used to stabilize fuel prices. Commenters are debating whether the drawdown was justified as emergency price relief or a risky depletion of a national security buffer, and how quickly and at what cost the reserve can realistically be refilled.
Why now: Fears over energy security and high oil prices have put renewed attention on how much emergency crude the U.S. has left.
