⚡ U.S. Taps Oil Reserve at 1982 Low as Prices Hit $117
The Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of up to 400,000 barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to supply Phillips 66's Lake Charles refinery in Louisiana, citing a temporary disruption to crude deliveries.
The oil will be drawn from the reserve's West Hackberry site and is available for immediate delivery. The move comes as crude prices climb above $117 per barrel and the reserve sits at its lowest level since 1982.
The release is structured as an exchange, meaning the borrowed barrels must be returned, but the drawdown adds pressure to a reserve already significantly depleted by prior emergency releases.

Petraeus praised the newly established Autonomous Warfare Command as a step in the right direction, but warned that the pace of change must accelerate significantly to meet the demands of next-generation conflict driven by drones, AI, and autonomous systems.
