If everything else went to zero, sure. But if everything else went to absolute zero, there are bigger problems than running out of reserves in Cushings, right? Technically if all other input was completely unavailable, I imagine it would have to be some root cause which would probably make the oil in these tanks unmovable as well.

I've read the strategic reserves are more a political play, and a impressive engineering feat, but actually drawing them down doesn't provide nearly the economic value versus just the fact we have them.
