What I understand is that we have already filled the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and now he is pushing for an "economic" Petroleum Reserve while prices are low. It's the approach a businessman would take. Buy low - Sell High. It's the opposite of typical politicians who say buy high and give me a kickback.

Put 200 sq ft of solar panels at each storage facility, and sell it to Chack and Nuncy as "Green Energy Carbon Sink"

Make sure to "buy" the Saudi and Russian oil, that way they have to pay us to take it.

Mr. President what do you mean "and they are going to pay for it"? Who would EVER pay you to take their oil???

When demand comes back, how much wall could you build with the proceeds from that oil they paid you to take of their hands?
