F Me Energy experts say Biden plan to refill oil reserve could take years, won't fix policy problemsEnergy experts and reps panned President Biden's plan to refill the SPR as not enough to provide true energy security after his releases from the cache. The Biden Administration is so far up their butt with their whole aggressive push for EV energy. And at three times the cost as what Trumps wanted to completely fill-up the SPRO.

What poll are you looking at? CeliaFateEsq According to NBC's own polling, Trump’s approval ratings never got higher than 47%. I would think MSNBC would want to point out that Joe Biden has now exceeded Trump's approval ratings, particularly since Republicans like to pretend Biden numbers are in the tank.

Five nongovernment attendees told Axios that, while they praise the White House for convening such a discussion, they walked away with few definitive answers about what the program will look like or who will run it." Biden and the White House reject that idea and say their plan may help oil prices come down. Lingering questions include whether the program will be mandatory and how exactly the label will measure device security. It's coming here. Details: The White House shared its own "straw-man" model for how it envisions the program working, according to two people in attendance. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) would hypothetically publish a set of standards for what factors the rating system would rely on, according to one source at the meeting. Wages are not keeping pace with inflation and the cost of heating your home this winter is going nowhere but up. The White House also plans to use fixed-price contracts to buy oil for the SPR, reserving oil for delivery at future date for a certain price, regardless of any fluctuations in the interim. A third-party licensing body, not yet created, would then use NIST's standards to rate products. The government would oversee the program, while the FTC would be the enforcement muscle, the source added. (Fox News) (Fox News) There will be a political reaction to this. At the meeting, discussion groups covered the government's potential role in this program; ways to make this label effective and improve device security; building consumer awareness about the label; and appropriate enforcement mechanisms.

Between the lines: Given the quick timeline, attendees who spoke with Axios anticipate the White House will make only small tweaks to its plan and will lean heavily on the presented research to answer lingering questions. It should be Biden because it was his war on fossil fuels that got this train rolling. "They don't usually put something on the table without it being baked," a source at the meeting told Axios. What's next: Justin Brookman, director of tech policy at Consumer Reports and another meeting attendee, told Axios that the White House estimated they'd have feedback within the next six to eight weeks. For the first time in years,." "I would say the industry doesn't necessarily need or want a new government program," Bradbury added. A senior administration official told reporters that the White House plans to bring an updated proposal to both government and industry stakeholders soon before the administration settles on the initial scope of the program this spring. However, some attendees said they weren't aware of the spring timeline until they read it in .
