President Biden’s plan to release 50 million barrels of oil from the nation’s strategic reserve over the next few months has been criticized by environmentalists as ‘disappointing’ and insufficient to address the root causes of high gas prices.

However, environmentalists argue that the release will only provide temporary relief and will do little to address the underlying issues that have led to high prices.
