oil rigs, lease permits and acreage the Oil & Gas Industry is letting lie "fallow"...none of that capacity is "Shut Down"...they simply aren't producing, which is keeping the prices high...not nice.
The SPR releases are not intended to "keep the plane flying" all by themselves...the numbers should make that clear to you and any rational observer...they constitute a "message" to OPEC and our domestic O/G Industry...I see it as part-and-parcel to the FTC investigation...but that's just me.
Sure wish you'd face up to the "Climate Change" info I'm providing...maybe some day.
