Gas prices are still high, diesel is at a record high, and the reserve has shrunk more than 30% in six months. While the reserve held around 415 million barrels of oil in February, it now holds less than 285 million barrels of oil — lower than it has been since the early 1980s.
These rapid drawdowns of oil threaten the salt caverns’ structure, says Samantha Gross, director of the energy security and climate initiative at the Brookings Institution, a nonpartisan policy think tank. As the reserves get lower and lower, the physical facilities can get degraded, Gross says: " You can damage them by pumping too much out of them."
He doesn’t get a choice in the matter, sweetie.
Dang ill just go tell all the companies that all their deals lost over 8 months of tarrifs and complete disruption actually never happened, because the Supreme court waved their wand and undid it. And withholding funds appropriated by congress, ill just tell them those funds actually were distributed.
And who or what exactly is going to stop him?
When no one (who is in a position to enforce) cares what is legal or constitutional, he can do anything he wants. Just look at the current state of the US and tell me anyone in any power or authority cares. Do you really think “third term” is where they’ll draw the line? I’d put every dollar I have that is not actually about not carrying, but that this is the desired outcome, to enrich themselves.
I only see one way to stop him, and it’s certainly not by law or votes.
