Some Context:
- The SPR was never supposed to be used for anything other than wartime and natural disasters (last release was during Hurricane Katrina) for example.
- The SPR holds 500 Million barrels. It was 3/5ths full at the time of release.
- The U.S. consumes 16-20 Million barrels of oil per day. Biden released ~ 30 Million, and not directly to America.
