None of them. They are all kind of dumb, except lowering gasoline taxes.

Random SPR releases would not help much, if at all.

Increasing margin requirements would simply drive the "speculators" offshore. Duh.

Temporarily suspend "boutique" blends. Make it permanent.

If 55mph is good, how about 45mph. Save more oil and save more lives.

I have some better ideas.

1. Drill everywhere.

2. Build 10 coal to oil plants.

3. Build 20 nuclear plants.

4. End the ethanol subsidy and all subsidies to "green" initiatives, saving untold billions.

The US has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, China and Canada put together (I read that on FR). Get the government out of the way and develop them.

Thank You Proud Canadian, your views most reflect mine. Your ideas create jobs, and lowers some food prices by abolishing ethanol programs.
