Want Lower Gas Prices? OK, Let's Increase Supply

Increasing supply will not solve the energy crisis. The whales were saved not by regulation but by the availability of cheap petroleum which rendered whaling obsolete. Similarly, global warming will be solved by economic incentives for industry to move off of oil. I propose a 5 to 7 year tax free profit window for any alternative energy producer which can demonstrate profitability with a small environmental footprint. It's good for business, good for America, and good environmental policy. We subsidized oil for 100 years, let's try something different.
