Amen...
That, and put heat on the oil companies about no tolerance for collusion (already let too many merge), but also clear the way for them to drill in ANWR and elsewhere, put heat on the environmentalists who are partly to blame for tight supply, ease regulations on the industry, suspend a lot of the mandated blends, and push like hell for building of new refineries. He can only really directly affect suspending the mandated blends, but he could be the bully pulpit for the rest and lead on this if he chose.

This may be the dumbest question ever, but why can't we build anymore refineries?

I would see the environmentalists as the greatest obstacles to be overcome, so pervasive has been their influence and willingness to gum up the works. Those that align themselves with them are not easily shoved aside either, but should be ,imo.
