Granting new Oil Leases within the US WILL lower the price of Oil per barrel damn near overnight. The prospect that we would tap more oil for comsumption would do that to the market.
Drill NOW....leases being granted under a new energy plan would need to be Fast Tracked.....protection from frivalious lawsuits from Environmentalists and NIMBY'S would be needed. Same applies to new refineries. Much like what Reagan did in order to get the Alaska pipeline constructed. Leases, that after a 5 year period, not producing Oil would be open for new bids. THis would insure that leasees that ACTUALLY have profitable deposits get pumped. We have plenty of Oil in the US. Let's Pump it. We can do this MUCH faster than 10-20 years as the "No Oil" crowd states. If Oil Companies no not see the need to pump more oil, then they will insure that Wind and other forms of energy replace them sooner rather than later. If Natural Gas(Pickens Plan) is so great an idea, how come we do not see industry leaders building the infrastructure for it? Much like the Hydrogen myth, I won't convert my diesel to Natural gas if I cant drive from here to Alaska and have easy access to fuel.
We should also drop ALL subsidies for ALL forms of Power.
NIMBY's, sorry, if you don't like the power plant, sell your property. Most plants are not proposed to be right in the center of town anyways. POWER is NEEDED, you can move down the road if you want.
If I were King? Clean coal power plants and Nuclear Power Plants would be where the bulk of our Electricity would come from. I'm all for Wind, and Passive Solar, Tidal generators.
As other forms of power can compete and make a profit, then they should be embraced and used, but our infractructure is Oil based, and like ot or not, will be until it is replaced with a profitable alternative.
I'm all in for all forms of energy. We are COAL rich in this country though, and Coal is cheap.
