You cannot legislate lower prices. It’s been tried..........

[taxcontrol]

Actually, you can ... at least from our current legal condition you can. The legislation required would be a mix of the following:

Short term:
1 standard for all gasoline blends sold in the US
Create an environmental fast track program to enable the building of new refineries
Reduce the import duties on Ethanol
Reduce the tax rate on gasoline

Long term:
Create a program where a refinery wishing to build a new plant can apply for a Federal review and bypass any state regulation for the building of the plant.
Open up ANWAR
Limit State control of offshore drilling to 2 miles
Increase funding for development of bio-diesel technology.
