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

Individuals and businesses are unwilling to make the tough decisions to cut consumption (i.e. 3 day-14 hour fluctuating work weeks, telecommuting, on-premises boarding), Congress is unwilling to open "environmentally (i.e. screw the consumer instead) sensitive" exploration areas, Congress is also cutting funding on nuclear plant development and waste disposal, and we have been waiting since I first started working in the okie oil patch at NIPER for private industry (it is attractive but make sure you meet earnings expectations for shareholders!) to find an alternative energy solution. Mr Dill is right, only a supply shock will awaken the American economy to pursue a painful but long term solution.
