I've been saying for years the way to revive and restore the economy ( and it would have headed off these oil price problems as well ) was to-
1- drill for gas & oil like crazy- onshore, offshore, and in Alaska
2- go nuclear for power
3- convert stationary plants to clean coal technology
4- slash taxes and regulations like crazy
Wow- just in time for $3 a gallon gasoline...
Don't forget the knee-jerk reaction of all left wing liberals when it comes to energy--
First, they just lie. They always lie. They start every single argument with lies. They paint ANWR as some pristine wildlife refuge where all of our cute furry animals are sitting in green fields frolicking with each other.
Second, their history of bad predictions that never panned out are never brought up. All of this garbage was brought up decades ago with drilling in Purdhome Bay and the pipeline.
Third, the left demands energy independence but can't get their brains out of the toilet long enough to realize what it will take to do so. They won't allow nuclear, coal digging, oil drilling, offshore rigs, etc. But they instead throw out more decade old arguments about solar power and wind power (unless those windmills are off the coast of Martha's Vineyard and ruin a liberals view).
-more-
When I started driving in 1977 the price of regular was $ 0.58 per gallon.
God forbid we drill Alaska...
Most of the price of a gallon of gas is from taxes. But don't hold your breath waiting for any pol to suggest a cut. I heard three retail clerks talking the other day about how we should tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Like that would fix everything. Sheesh. People are so unbelievably clueless.
The $1.60 or so a gallon we are paying is about 80 cents gas and 80 cents tax. Europeans $4.00 a gallon is 80 cents gas and $3.20 tax.

More idiocy, from idiots:

There hasn't been a new refinery built since 1976 because of the cost...
On a major digression: This reminds of how Clinton stole America's largest supply of clean burning coal by executive proclamation. It eliminated competition for his friends the Riady family of Indonesia.

The part that I love the most about this process, is that it works with just about anything (tires, leaves, plastics, trees, grain, animals, sewage, etc). Naturally, the kind of oil you get out (heavy or light) is based upon the combination of things you shove in the front end. But the chemistry is sound, and a plant is currently in production today using turkey offal from a nearby Butterball plant.

Oil prices aren't rising. The dollar is falling. Wrong, the dollar has been recovering for the past 6 weeks as measured by the price of gold.
It is a lack of supply pure and simple due to growing demand in China.
