Strategic Oil Reserve

I've seen the GOP harp on it with Clinton in office, ditto the Demos with Bush in. No doubt both groups would bitch about it if Nader got the nod. I believe there's 1M barrels a day going in, wtih something like 650,000M barrels already stored. Ever wonder what would happen if terrorist dropped a match down that particular hole?

I used to work for the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve). Basically, I was told there was enough oil in there (read: more than one location) to keep the entire country going for 2-3 months without any imports. Jeremy Falcon

Well, it's also been a year since I've worked there, so I should qualify that with an "at the time" I reckon. :) Jeremy Falcon
