We have to ask why the Biden administration has relaxed restrictions on Venezuelan and Iranian oil exports while recently curtailing Alaskan oil exploration and production in the NPR? It’s called the National Petroleum Reserve for a reason. It’s not a National Park or a National Forest or a Wilderness Area. It’s under the Bureau of Land Management. Let them manage it for benefit of all Americans. Meanwhile, every time oil spikes, often as a result of their policies, they draw down inventory from the SPR to try and lower high gas prices. Just like the NPR it’s called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a reason, to protect us during an emergency by ensuring that we have adequate oil available to not shut down the country. It is not there to manipulate market prices, play politics and buy votes.
