(Washington, DC) — Senator Chuck Grassley opposes President Biden’s plan to release 50-million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to bring down gas prices. The Iowa Republican says the president should only tap the reserve in a “real emergency” or in the case of critical national security issues. Grassley suggests Biden undo his executive order stopping construction of the X-L pipeline, undo the order restricting the drilling on federal lands and stop the order restricting fracking. Grassley claims the president’s gesture will have little-to-no significant impact on gasoline prices.
