"Tax the hell out of the drillers"...

You mean the drillers that were camping on their leases and not actually producing anything? The same drillers who used cronyism to artificially restrict the markets? Those drillers?

Drill here. Drill now. Drill every where... Free markets work.

It is much larger than just drill baby drill. At the minimum there are several very different processes needed to bring the crude from below the ground to the pump at the local gasoline station. Each process has its own unique problems and steps. The steps/processes are as I see it:

Drilling and finding the crude
Gathering and delivery of the crude to the refineries
Refining
Retail distribution of the product to the local gasoline station

Oil speculators of a world wide fungible product have been one the reason that prices rise out of control like they have in the past few weeks/months. How do you control the world markets when they aren’t under the US control? I don’t think we have refineries sitting around idle waiting on crude to be delivered at this time. No easy solution exist imo.
