#BREAKING: US Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette announces he has been authorized to expand the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to 1 billion barrels.

Brouillette to meet with Congress today.

Current US oil reserve levels are at 713.5 million barrels.@OANN

1 Billion barrels sounds like a lot, but broken down:

• 1 Billion Barrels in the reserves
• US Oil Consumption = 20.5 million barrels of oil a day

Equals 48.7 days worth of oil.

We should increase the reserves to 5 Billion.
