It means one of two things:

1. Drill and Refine our OWN oil — where ever it may be.

2. Inform OPEC to take their own production up to a point where the market price returns to $25/barrel, or we’ll kick their ass and take the gas.

You choose.

OPEC does not have the capacity to increase production to a point where oil would be $25.00 a barrel.

BTW-You do realize that you do not have a right to cheap oil?

What are you smoking? Name one candidate or current politician who would even THINK about making such statements?

And I don’t think $25/barrel is a good price - our own oil industry would be discouraged from drilling. $40 per barrel would likely be enough to be able to make a profit. That would be less than 1/3 of the current price.

Current price locally for regular unleaded - $3.59. That should then be somewhere less than $1.20 per gallon (except for those pesky gas taxes).
