I say let the free market do what it is supposed to do.
It is politically driven quasi-scientific environmental regulations and a general attitude of "not in my backyard" (NIMBY) that is restricting
oil production and refining. If we increase production/refining capacity prices will drop. The dems are partially correct when they say"we cannot drill our way out of high gas prices" We must also increase refining capacity. How long has it been since a refinary has been built in the USA.
Does anybody remember the gasoline pipeline in Tucson that burst a few years ago??
Did the news say that there was only one 8 inch pipe that fed this whole corner of AZ?
Did the news say that there were NO
oil refinearys in Az at all?
