gas prices

Let's decide in advance that the price of gas will increase by 2 cents per gallon weekly, or $1.00 per gallon yearly. Such a steady, predictable increase will focus our minds wonderfuily on ways to reduce gas consumption. The difference between the low production cost and the retail price of gas should guarantee adequate profits to the entire supply chain, even with high levels of taxation to support alternative energy development, temporary relief for the consumers who are most affected, etc.

The next POTUS should visit ANWR. He should also have a topo of the area and this should be publicized. He and the citizens of the U.S. can then see 1) how small the exploration area is and 2) how beneficial oil production from this region will be. Just the decision to drill will drop the price of oil because of the futures markets. He can then travel to the Florida and California coasts to publicize just how much oil the U.S. has.
