As the United States drains its Strategic Petroleum Reserve, China is stockpiling oil. They now have 1.14 billion barrels of oil in their reserves.

Oil is at $95 a barrel now and gas prices throughout the US and the West are skyrocketing. The dumping of oil from the SPR is no longer having an impact.

This is a bad economic situation all around and it is only going to get worse. As I said in a previous article, we will likely see $10 gas in the US unless something drastic changes.
