OK so there are ample space for 75 mill. bbls of crude oil in the SPR:(Trump probably checked before making that statement)
Yes indeed, lots of pipelines. pumps and other infrastructure on the surface that would be an attractive target for “enemy bombs” (If anybody is dumb enough to try)
Could also be an attractive target for saboteurs, or terrorists (or just plain cyber attack by a kid from his bedroom)
What is the good of millions of barrels of crude oil in storage, if you cannot bring it to the surface, or transport it to refineries?
Honestly, right now I’m making GOOD money, the price keeps dropping and none of my competitors want to drop the price. I still moonlight on the boats and keep my ticket if wood prices ever goes to shit but I got smart and built a brand new gas station local to where I live 3yrs ago, look at it as another piece of my retirement when i want to cash in and move to Florida someday.
Those are fuel prices I cant bitch about we go thru about 1-2k gal of diesel a week ourselves, sat down and did the math and it was a no brainer, you cant fight the guy who’s paying himself to fuel his own trucks / equipment.
