Yes. But just like various items in demand now ( ventilators, masks and so on ), it is not a bad idea to have a strategic reserve of those for those times when they would be necessary. I am a alternative energy proponent, but it seems misguided to simply ignore current situation and not take steps beneficial to the taxpayer ( buy stuff while it is cheap ).
The other side of the argument appears to want to cause maximum amount of pain to force people to move to the other sources. I understand that argument. I do not really buy it. National stockpile should not be subject to that. It serves a strategic purpose.

- reportingsjr 7y agoThe national reserves are already significantly full. There isn't a huge need to absolutely fill them to the rim considering their size.
- kortilla 7y agoSure there is. Top them off at record low prices and be done with it. Then there won’t be much argument to keep them full. Why build it to the storage capacity it has if we’re not going to fill it?
