Amazing video by Technology Connections. It’s a long one, but don’t miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

    Come again? I am saying “isn’t earmarked for the federal government” and you come up with a fact check saying that it is not earmarked for military use. Which is the same thing.

    Also, you are comparing the share of the military in the federal government’s energy usage. The government’s energy usage is largely electricity, not oil-based, while for the military it is the inverse. Also, the military consumes oil outside of the US economy: the oil consumption of an US Air Force base in say Spain is part of the Spanish economy, not of the US economy. Or at least, the overseas bases consumption will not be pulled from the US strategic oil reserves.

    So it is all orthogonal to the US strategic oil reserves what the US military’s share in energy consumption of the US Federal Government is.

      No. “Isn’t earmarked for the federal government” is not the same as “isn’t earmarked for military use".

      Any links to back what you say would be highly appreciated.
