Let people cut it up for fire wood! So many couldn't get wood because of the fire danger and cutting was closed. I for one do not have enough wood to last the winter.

I agree with Leslie. Donate the wood to people who may not be able to afford to buy it.

Not sell but donate to those who need to heat with wood.

Let private firewood companies come there to clean it up, then sell it.

Leaving it that provides more fuel for future fires. The profits from selling the lumber will help the industry and provide jobs and funds for reforestation projects or upgrades to the rec areas.

What's the point of leaving a bunch of dead trees along the road that ODOT (or whom ever) killed??? I get trees are natural but their demise was not.

I would hate to see these trees go to waste and the forest service could put the money to good use

I would not sell the lumber. what I would like to see is the lumber milled into post and other timbers to use on our roads and hwys. This lumber could be used for guardrails and signage along Oregon.

Do not leave them there, but do not cut them down for selling, either. They have been sprayed with herbicide, so if someone were to burn them as firewood, it would be a risk to health.

Sell it off to highest bidder. Use funds to restore other forest areas. This also gets it all cleaned up to help in avoiding more forest fires.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html
