You've identified a perplexing problem: Experienced bureaucrats vs inexperienced outsiders. Not much of a choice.

    Granholm has the added problems of being an idiot and arrogant at the same time.
    I mean you don't even need an experienced bureaucrat here, just someone with a decent history in the energy sector and knowledge of it. Instead of a career lawyer-politician like this bimbo.

      Yes, it's a political move. Yes, it is a temporary solution to a larger, more critical problem.

      But in all fairness, I don't believe the release of 50 million barrels is "futile." It is meant to offset domestic prices in the short term. Other presidents have done the same thing, and it does help in the short term. But Biden's overall trend hasn't gone away, and that is hostile to the oil industry.
      But it was intended to relieve pressure in the US when things got heated in the Middle East --- not just because prices increased at home.

        Yup - posted that in the thread from which this started.

          Two and a half days, and this actually benefits China, according to one expert - I'll dig that up after coffee.

            'Would that I had the magic wand'- U.S. energy chief on oil output

            WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Friday suggested that the Biden administration has little power to push the country's oil producers to boost output in an effort to lower rising fuel costs.

            "Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm told Bloomberg TV, laughing in a response to a question on what her plan was to raise U.S. oil output. "That is hilarious," she added.

            U.S. oil output is expected to fall 260,000 barrels per day (bpd) to about 11 million bpd in 2021 as production is slow to recover from the pandemic even as demand rises, the Energy Information Administration, an independent arm of the Department of Energy, said this month.

            That output would be 60,000 bpd lower the EIA previously forecast. Output is expected to rebound in 2022 to 11.7 million bpd, but fall short of pre-pandemic record output of nearly 13 million bpd in November 2019.

            Granholm said oil is a global market "controlled by a cartel, the cartel is called OPEC." President Joe Biden's administration has been pushing OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, to boost production so as not to impair the global economic recovery. But this week OPEC+ stuck to a plan to only raise output gradually, and Brent oil prices marched higher on Friday to nearly $83 a barrel.

              China, along with India, Britain and Japan, are also releasing oil reserves. I don't know how much.

                Of course these clowns don't have a clue. This is the same group that mocked Trump over
                improving the economy over Obama's anemic "new normal" asking if he had a magic wand
