Some on FR would argue, but I believe the POTUS could, if he wanted to, cut energy prices in half in a very short time. This could be achieved by announcing a federal policy to immediately begin to increase the supply and availability of petroleum, natural gas, coal, and electricity.
Increasing the supply of petroleum is easy. Green light Keystone and drill, drill, drill. Just the announcement of these steps will decrease the price. Why the repubs aren't using this as a campaign issue is beyond me.

I agree. Just knowing that we are going to increase our oil drilling will help to drive down oil prices. I'm hoping this keystone pipeline will get through in this latest bill. Brilliant job by the house pubbies to tie the payroll tax cut to the keystone pipeline.

—agree—but along with drill, drill drill, we need to get on with refine, refine, refine—a state of the art refinery groundbreaking in about twenty locations would be a start-—
