I would encourage the Department of Energy to look for more effective measures to deter disruptions in the oil supply of the United States. Simply stockpiling oil has not been shown to decrease prices for American consumers. More attention should be focused on maintaining stability of oil production in countries with inadequate means to protect their supplies. Also, regulations should be levied against the large oil producers who have recorded record windfall profits who refuse to appropriate the necessary funds to renovate refinaries and ensure the stable flow of affordable energy to Americans. As the SPR has risen to record levels in recent months, oil futures have risen to over $75 a barrel. This is in direct contradiction to the agency's initiative and shows failure to promulgate any sort of effective policy regarding stable, affordable consumer prices. Comment on FR Doc # E6-06102
