Order the uncapping of existing wells that were capped 20 - 30 years ago that were pumping just fine back then, it only takes a few weeks to get them back into production. If a general directive to uncap the existing wells were to come from the White House today, prices would start to fall by Tuesday.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Old wells get uncapped all the time if they are economically viable. Why would you have the president order unprofitable wells be uncapped? Would you have him order other businesses to engage in unprofitable production?

You don't have to order people to make a profit. I have confidence that at $140 per barrel somebodys going to smell the coffee.
