Now there is something that has needed said for awhile. IMHO, the president needs to formulate a real energy policy. He needs to dramatically relax restrictions on drilling in ANWR and other parts of Alaska as well as in offshore coastal areas. He needs to dramatically relax restrictions on refineries. Actually he should require that oil companies be actively building them and he should formulate a no-export policy for crude oil. It will take awhile to get this energy policy passed. In the interim, he should do it through executive order. He should then drop the federal gasoline tax until the energy policy passes congress.
He can talk conservation all he wants, but that won't solve our problems.
"He can talk conservation all he wants, but that won't solve our problems."
It won't solve them, but opening up drilling and refinery construction won't help either unless we cut demand. It's not an either/or problem. Both approaches are needed together.
Apparently you want a dictator, not a president
There are a couple of things called courts and congress
