It's been exposed that the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been DESTROYED by the Biden admin, with one site left "INOPERABLE," forcing President Trump to clean up the mess and surge investments to fix everything

"The previous administration also left one of the four sites in operable...this forced the Trump administration to invest more money to move equipment that blocked access to that site."

"They purchased equipment and left it on surface and did not install it. Some of that equipment, due to the weather it was exposed to, is no longer useful. So we've completely wasted taxpayer dollars on that equipment that the last administration sat on surface and didn't install."

"They also failed to maintain some of the sites."

"The Biden administration drained it of 180 million barrels before the midterm elections in 2022 and never fully refilled it."

Trump is CLEANING UP the mess YEARS after Democrats made it!

The Dems knew they were going to lose and tried to make as much of a mess as possible, so the Trump admin couldn’t get anything done except to clean up.

Unfortunately, these decisions were made by underlings that will never be held accountable.

I guess the ol' adage "we have freedom, but not freedom of consequences" doesn't apply here

Everything the puppet masters did when Biden was president was done in the shadows and done behind the scenes so they had little paper trial. This is why when you point out obvious things that happened whether this or the vaccine mandates discussed with businesses the people on Reddit and Nextdoor ask for proof. Of course, there is little proof that any of it happened but everyone knows it did. They were the most Anti-American and evil people in charge we have ever seen. Trump really needs to go after these people.

Tell me you are ignorant about unprotected equipment left out in the elements....or are you just fricking stupid.

I'll wager the latter.

Do you not understand what the weather can do to equipment like engines, pumps, valves, and motors?

And yet even draining the piss out of it oil was still higher under the 2 stooges terms.

Imagine had the reserve been maxed out during Iran ops for Trump to use during wartime as it was designed.

I've worked storage caverns.

You have a lot of piping and casing that can't sit surface side due to corrosion and that needs to be covered and nitrogen padded or installed downhole or it will not be serviceable. I've been on a project where they wasted 1.3 million on casing and piping that set out in the weather for so long it be came scrap and had to be repurchased.
