Why are politicians so mind numbingly stupid!
Increase the supply and prices will drop. Drill off of both coasts, in the Gulf, and in Alaska. Oh, the liberals won't allow that.
Build some new refineries to increase production capacity. Oh, the liberals won't allow that.
Build new nuclear power plants. Oh, the liberals won't allow that.
How about some new hydroelectric plants. Oh, the liberals won't allow that.
I know, some new wind farms. Oh, the liberals won't allow that.

There are a few bio fuels electric plants that have just gone online, and more to come.
