I am pushing Joe Biden to release more of our oil reserves.
Push the Biden administration to release more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sen. Maggie Hassan's March 31, 2022 press release states that, following her repeated calls, the Biden administration announced an additional release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and cites her role in pressing for SPR releases to lower prices for constituents.
The Department of Energy (March 31, 2022) issued statements that it would execute President Biden’s authorization to release up to one million barrels per day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for six months and subsequently posted multiple Notices of Sale and contract awards implementing those releases.
Assessments
The Biden administration announced and executed major SPR releases on March 31, 2022 (DOE notices and sale/contract awards). Senator Maggie Hassan issued a contemporaneous press release stating her repeated calls contributed to that decision. The action occurred during her Senate term and she publicly and materially pushed for the release, so the promise was delivered.
