U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Falls to Lowest Level Since 1982
The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has dropped to its lowest level since 1982, according to an energy industry report drawing wide attention. The drawdown followed large releases of emergency crude oil intended to cool fuel prices. Commenters are debating whether the reserve can be refilled cheaply and whether the drawdown has left the country exposed to future supply shocks or price spikes.
Why now: Concerns over U.S. energy security and refill costs after large crude releases have put the reserve's depletion back in the spotlight.
