Does it not concern you as a taxpayer that the new DOE decided to send this out to a company that we can't even definitively locate on the Internet? That alone seems fishy to me, and this happening while many of the IGs were removed from their posts by this administration is just greasing the wheels on this bumbling rollercoaster full of grifters. I have my doubts about this one, but I also doubt everything this admin does due to their pattern of ineptitude.
I think the SPR is kind of important, and would like to know that it will be managed by someone who knows something about the industry, the market and has a background in it. A little more info than a website under construction is not too much to ask for when it's a billion dollar contract. I agree, if they did find a group capable of completing upgrades, purchasing oil at low prices, and maintaining it would be fantastic, but again, I don't have any evidence that this is the case.
