How about increasing the supply side? Drill Anwar, Drill off the FL coast, Drill off the CA coast, build refineries. America has sat back and let the rest of the world and the greenies dictate energy policy for us. We've been the bug for too long, time to be the windshield again.
The biggest driver in the current price run up is the decline in the dollar against foreign currencies. If we weren't buying so much foreign
oil, our balance of trade would greatly improve and the dollar would stabilize and strengthen.
No politician has the balls to do the right thing when it comes to energy policy and our whole country suffers for it.
