I looked at a chart last week that revealed it took DECADES to fill the SPR. SharterJoe's managed to almost empty it within a few months.
OF COURSE he can't backfill the SPR. First of all, all of that oil is encased within huge SALT deposits within the earth. There aren't hundreds or millions of huge storage tanks sitting out there getting rusty. I can well imagine the gasket that EPA would blow just to study the effect of that oil on those salt deposits. Second of all, SharterJoe's dumbassed decision about shutting down the Keystone Pipeline has been biting him in the ass since Day #1, but he's too stupid to understand what his handlers made him do. Third, the sheer expense of backfilling SPR makes the idea completely insane -- at least for those who are good stewards of taxpayer money. (SharterJoe isn't good at that either.)
This whole debacle gives new meaning to the pronunciation of Reggie Love's Li'l Bitch:
"Never underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up."
