Again, a Congress looking like they are doing something, but in the end, they are hurting all of us. Like 70K barrels a day is going to make the slight bit of difference. Thats a drop in a bucket, and one day we will need these emergency supplies and there will be none. Nice. Idiots.

I wish they'ed build more refineries. On a side note, I got a kick outta McCann and his wind turbines speech yesterday. Too bad enviromentalists don't want them built in their scenic backyards.

Rich ones don't, niki. Check out Cape Air.

I'd love to have my own turbine

there's a huge one a few miles down the road, but it's not the same

The UPR will be filled again when the circumstances change. This is nothing new nor something to be overly concerned with. The amount of oil stored fluctuates.

Must have been a slow news day

To answer the OP's question,

This way to the egress.

Well, it's not something to get too uppity about. The reserves are 97% full as it is.
THis measure just stops them being topped up.

You know little about the oil price situation do you?

Was it the part about baby Bush not loving it that urged you to make a topic?

I agree wholeheartedly. We need more people like P.T. Barnum around.
