Challenges
With US oil stockpiles in the SPR down substantially since President Biden took office, Republicans and Democrats are fighting over what to do next (PBS, Oil Price, US House Energy and Commerce Committee, Energy.gov). The question will be suspended on 28 November 2024 and the outcome determined using data as reported by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) when first released for 29 November 2024, expected in early December 2024 (EIA). As of 28 July 2023, ending stocks totaled 346,759 thousand barrels.
