Congress has pre-authorized SPR sales totaling over 200 million barrels through legislation from 2015-2018 (FAST Act 66M, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 7M, Bipartisan Budget Act 100M), with most sales occurring in 2023-2027, making SPR refill politically impossible regardless of oil price.
Once you've achieved more than enough financial success, pursuing more is a disease; conscious effort required to savor success rather than endlessly chase more; financial satisfaction frees you to focus on 'get to' activities rather than 'have to' activities.
Justin Trudeau made a complete 180-degree reversal on nuclear policy after Canadian citizen-advocate Dr. Chris Kiefer convinced him through meetings about Canada's CANDU reactor technology, demonstrating that well-intended citizens with pro-human agendas can shift government policy.
Energy is life and standard of living is literally defined by how much energy you personally get to waste; entropy is spontaneous and the human endeavor is a constant struggle against entropy, with the amount of order you can impose on your environment determining your standard of living.
Canada deployed a gigawatt of nuclear power capacity using standardized modular designs every year for 20 consecutive years, and Ontario's electricity grid is the least carbon-intensive in the western world as a result, demonstrating that nuclear deployment at scale is achievable with proper policy support.
The carbon emissions from automotive and aviation combined are less than the carbon emissions from creation of industrial-grade steam, making SMR deployment at industrial sites more consequential for carbon abatement than all EV infrastructure despite receiving a fraction of the investment.
