Biden Admin to Release Gasoline From Strategic Fuel Reserve

By Ben Lefebvre

As the summer driving season nears, the Energy Department said it was making the move now “to maximize its impact on gasoline prices.”

The Biden administration announced Tuesday it would release 42 million gallons of gasoline from the strategic fuel reserve into the Northeast markets to help cool off retail fuel prices.

Congress had ordered the sale from the National Gasoline Supply Reserve as part of the 2024 budget law, 118-42, requiring the Energy Department to close down the reserve after selling its inventory. DOE said it will accept bids for the fuel through May 28, with the revenue going to the Treasury. The fuel is to be delivered from the reserve sites in New Jersey and Maine no later than June 30.

In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
