EPRINC team members Max Pyziur, Matthew Sawoski, and Lucian Pugliaresi were cited in a recent JustTheNews article for their analysis of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and its role in contemporary energy security. The article examines various proposals to refill the SPR, which was depleted to its lowest level since the 1980s by the Biden-Harris administration.
Notably, the piece references EPRINC’s Op-Ed published in the National Interest on October 20, 2025, “The Strategic Petroleum Reserve: 50 + 2 Years Since the Key Inciting Incident,” which analyzes how the SPR’s original purpose has evolved given that the U.S. is now the world’s largest oil producer rather than heavily dependent on Middle Eastern imports.
