Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the largest stockpile of government owned emergency crude oil in the world. The reserve currently stores 700 million barrels. The Department of energy is currently addimg 70,000 a day to this Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an attempt to double the overall capacity.
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, would like to see a moratorium on the addition to the reserve as long as the 90-day price of crude oil is at least $75. The Senate reublican leaders have put forth a similar plan.
Some members of congress disagree with expanding the reserve since oil prices have reached the highest level in decades.
I agree with Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, the current practice of stockpiling these reserves are the main reason that this and other countries around the world are paying terrible gas prices at the pump. They are also having to pay more for necessities such as food, clothing, etc. as the gas prices continue to rise.
The American middle and lower classes are being forced into dire straits by this practice to stockpile our reserves. They can't afford to keep their cars, homes, or families in food and clothing because of this practice.
I urge you not to continue the practice of stockpiling our oil reserves...release the 70,000 barrels a day that is being currently stockpiled...give the citizens of this great nation a break with making the prices at the pump lower to the level of $2.80 per gallon.
Lowering the stockpile and releasing oil will allow the American public to spend more at our nation's retailers thus taking us out of the current recession.
Thank you for allowing me to make my opinion heard. You are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work for the little peole.
Sincerely,
