“What we need is a tariff on foreign oil of $20 per barrel to protect our young fracking industry. To protect American jobs and investments that could go bankrupt while Saudi Arabia is pumping all out.”
the best way to distort and market is to tax it the way you suggest.
let the market work and consumers will benefit.

IOW your economics textbooks are wrong
