True, that might work.
But, the American people can also do their part and actually conserve. You know, make do with less? I know it's a concept that hasn't largely been advocated for decades, but it just might work.

For the most part, people paying cash at the pumps are already doing that. IMO, it's those who put it in the credit card and pay the minimum balance each month are the ones how haven't changed their habits yet. When they max out the card, then they'll change.
Already tried and done that in the 70s under Carter. Look, conservation doesn't work, and besides, it's already built in the free market. If your car runs out of gas on the side of a highway, are you gonna "conserve" your way out of the situation?
What we need is more production, build, drill, and roll back regulations.
