| #5 Don’t even have to wait for new drilling to hit oil, Frank G — they can just open the stopcocks for all the 4-8 year old wells that President Biden ordered shut down. We were producing enough excess to sell to the world the last time President Trump lived in the White House. |

| #4 ^ With what oil? They've restricted domestic production so much that supplies to refill will probably have to be imported. Drill, baby, drill |

| #2 Trump tried to refill it during his term when oil was cheap as I recall, but was hindered by 'others'. |
