Running on Empty: America's Critical Oil Reserve Crisis Exposed on Redacted

Originally published at: https://peakprosperity.com/running-on-empty-americas-critical-oil-reserve-crisis-exposed-on-redacted/

This week, I appeared on Redacted to discuss the alarming depletion of America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has reached its lowest levels since 1983, raising urgent questions about how long our emergency oil cushion can actually last amid rising geopolitical risks. We also covered the illusion of cheap gasoline prices driven by aggressive SPR draws, critically low downstream inventories for gasoline and diesel, and the complex supply-demand realities that could leave civilians vulnerable as early as this month. The full interview is below!

I’ve never seen Nataly make such a series of concerned faces as in this interview. She, and we all, have good reason to make that concerned face, given the tank bottom situation we’re all about to face.

Natalie always does that. I find it irritating. But they are such a cute couple :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

If we do hit tank bottoms in late July and early August, giddyup! We are going to need some serious horse, mule, and donkey public advocacy and awareness on our streets and roads and in city hall.

Amish style buggies are going to be doing a booming business. Lots of small time buggy shops will spring up. Labor for animal care and logistics will have a boom.

Gardening will be a necessity for next summers on-trend fashion.

A cybernetic world made by hand.

Great interview by the way!

Your analysis and the Virgo vibe kept the emotional ranting from the hosts to a minimum and the information transmission high.

Green New Deal 2026, here we go.

We can hit tank bottom. We can use Brondo in our tanks. It has electrolytes.

By coincidence, so does the salt water backfill! See? Things are going to work out just fine, the TV told me so.

Independence Day….

Do you remember the Story about the Ant who tried to declare his “Independence”?

What the Americans have seemingly forgotten is that they declared their “Independence” in 1776 collectively, albeit as a very loose collective with no strong central authority…more like an Ant Hill?

July 4th

Independence Day….

Do you remember the Story about the Ant who tried to declare his “Independence”?

Tell the Ant to leave the Ant Hill to “Go Where You’re Treated Best”….

According to Michael Yon, in the U.S. “Special Forces School”, they teach to students at over U.S. $1 million bucks a pop to act like Retarded imbeciles (like Jerry Lewis) “as a clever ruse and a Cover.”

This may be a glitch in the U.S. education system?

Today, at the Retail Level, it’s less like an Ant Hill and more like a Prison?

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

The new (old) American standard. Yes, that’s a wood gas generator on the back. From WWII.
