This is a really good opportunity for Dubya to use every ounce of his executive power to order expedited construction of new refining capacity, so that it can be spread out and that this might never be a risk again....whatever the excuse, get the damn things built. There's no good reason the most powerful nation in the world should be forced to run at 95%-98%-105% of refining capacity all the time. Whatever the environmental, microeconomic, legal, antitrust roadblocks are....knock'em down. Git'er done!

I really do agree: Git'er Done!

Sometimes that is the only upside of something like this: you get to start over, knowing what hasn't worked. We tried it the enviro way and here we are. This is a national emergency and I would think POTUS has a lot of EOs he can write.
