A RADICAL GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL TO LOWER GAS PRICES
Uh, do nothing.
The price will go up in the short run. Folks will demand alternative fuels. Industry will find them. Demand will drop. Oil Prices will drop. It's called the Free Market and it was invented by Marco Polo, Thomas Jefferson or Warren Buffett, depending upon who you talk to.
Halliburton shares will go down but will rally when we invade Venezuala, North Korea and Iran, all at the same time.
In the meantime, enjoy your Navigator/Hummer/Escalade.

No one can invade Venezuala ! We have the "peoples militia" trained by me

Also Korea is far to close to Japan . LIL Kim is going to get the old "wait til you die" rout.
It is difficult to believe someone can be so rational and irrational in the same post. What does the face you see in the mirror say to you in the morning?
MoFo BA,
Mostly it says I am working too hard and not getting enough sleep.
I still think that price is the only reliable dampening device western society has ever find. Cheerfully conceded it that doesn't work for morphine sulfate and coca leaf derivatives. If we'd try a truly free market, we'd see if oil is more like heroin or more like bauxite.
Thank you for coming by. I think I liked your site better before Miss Manners invaded it, but I still like it. Don't eat too many Schwieberts.
I think that conservation should be our immediate response to high gas prices. Of course as I write that, a Hummer just backed out of a parking space at the Qwik-E-Mart, burning $6.53 in gas in the process.
I feel confident that an alternative and superior form of energy will be found, and it won't be after the last drop of oil has been sucked from the Earth's core. Someone recently mentioned that the end of the Stone Age wasn't precipitated by the depletion of stone, something better came along. A similar fate awaits oil. There's a lot of money to be made from alternative energies, and if necessity is the mother of invention, money is its daddy.
Of course, I could be wrong and we might return to the Stone Ages. I'm cool with it either way.
