'supply and demand' is not a deterministic relationship. Each of 'supply' and 'demand' have separate price/unit relations and the Equilibrium Point is what the market seeks. Many factors can shift the curves or change their slopes.

Who? "We", the USA, don't own any oil drilling companies. How can "we" bring in any oil? "We" don't even pay drilling companies to drill oil.
I know you socialists like to "Nationalize Oil", is that what you have in mind?
Talking about electric cars, did you see the Charlie Rose interview last night with Rick Wagoner, Bob Lutz and Bob Boniface? GM is going to have that "Volt" in the showrooms in Fall '09.
Good 'ol American free enterprise. I know you reds hate it, but that's a lot sooner than you commies can deliver more oil even if you Nationalize the oil companies!
Have you ever driven an electric car? What a thrill! Fast and quiet. Try it, you'll like it.

My post from Senator Boxer (even thou I am not a fan of hers) outlines it fairly well, including how to control the London trading.
You donโt mention in your post was the cause of the recent doubling of the price is caused from. It canโt be supply and demand as supply Is up slightly and demand is down slightly.

WRONG on both counts. Speculators ONLY can control prices when supply is too close to demand. And, pray tell, how do you plan on controlling off shore oil markets?

Since it's speculators that are driving the prive up simply awarding drilling contracts COULD have a HUGE impact on prices. But, controlling the speculators would be a more direct, and better, approach.

All we can do is grant leases to foreigners who MAY drill sometime in the future at their convenience, which is not expected to be before 20 years, and the price reduction will be NEGLIGIBLE.

Earth to Fezz.....we are not using OIL to produce our Electricity....
How is this going to Lower the price of Gas? I'm all for Solar, but Solar power DOES NOT build roads, make plastics, make TIRES for our cars, transport our consumer goods coast to coast, fuel Jet engines, Ships, lubricants, cosmetics, and the list goes on.
Nuclear Power is THE CHEAPEST form of electricity we have. period.
...and WILL NEED OIL 100 YEARS FROM NOW......
