\u201cEven if Trump had the funds to fill up the SPR, barrels can only be added at a rate of ~3 million barrels \/ month. Given that it currently has 415 million barrels, it would take 7\u20138 years to fill the SPR up to its 714 million-barrel capacity. Some say it could be done a little faster, but the fact remains it cannot be done overnight, and Trump couldn\u2019t have done it during his 13 months in office so far.\u201d \u2013 Chris Martz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
