The US Department of Energy (DOE) has said it will draw on its oil reserves if supplies are disrupted because of the millennium bug.
Robert Porter, spokesman for the DOE said emergency plans had been made to draw oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for sale within 15 days of a Y2K problem.
However, Porter stressed that he did not want to "send out alarming signals that we are gearing up for an inevitable SPR draw-down." He claimed making the SPR available was just a precaution.
