All W needs to do is announce that we will be drilling our own oil and will not import one drop of foreign oil. Then do it and watch the prices plummet.

We can drill all the oil we want. If we don't have the refineries, it won't get to the gas pump.

That, and the fact that it will take many years to see a drop of oil from any new wells we drill, I wouldn't count on any price reductions any time soon.

Ha ha. More like watch prices head for $1,000/barrel because we can't begin to supply enough oil for our own needs, even if we put a giant vacuum over ANWR.

Actually, there is truth in what you say.

Declare an energy emergency. Issue three executive orders.
Order no. 1 authorizes drilling on both Coasts, the gulf, Anwar and all federal lands.
Order no. 2 authorizes nuclear reactors built to produce 100% of electricity in the US.
Order no. 3 authorizes refineries to be built with only one environmental challenge and coal and tar sands to be mined to produce oil.

Then spotlight Democrats opposition to all energy exploration in the US which has brought us to a crisis of epic proportions.
