More oil and gas from federal lands in exchange for strategic reserves.

New rules require the government to increase oil and gas production on federal lands before using national oil reserves. This aims to balance reserve depletion with increased domestic production. Citizens may experience impacts on energy prices and fuel availability in the long run.
Key points
Before the government uses oil reserves, it must develop a plan to increase oil and gas production on federal lands.
The increase in production on federal lands must match the percentage decrease in oil from strategic reserves, but cannot exceed 10% of the current lease level.
The changes aim to ensure that the use of strategic reserves is linked to an increase in domestic energy production.
