Oil and gas experts warn that President Joe Biden's decision to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to relieve the economic strain that Americans are feeling at the gas pump is the equivalent of putting a Band-aid on a gaping wound, with the damage Biden is seeking to repair the result of his own progressive energy policies.
