How to Lower Gas Prices

I think Stephen Stromberg has it right about gas prices. The Republican line of Drill Here, Drill Now will do nothing to alleviate gas prices. Domestic supply is too small to contribute much to the world oil market. The Democratic line of only wanting to attack Republicans without actually admitting more drilling is necessary-- even in Alaska, completely flushes the whole conversation down the toilet.

Yes I think we should drill more (we also should get rid of stupid oil company subsidies). You may disagree and that's fine. But the only way to bring prices down for good is to consume less oil.  The way to consume less oil is to operate things that consume less oil like your legs.  Or to produce more efficient planes, trains and automobiles.  I don't see Americans really giving up their cars.  So solution two is the direction we should be heading and we should have a federal policy in place to cure our addiction to consuming so much oil.  The whole political nonsense both parties are using to their advantage gets us no where.
