Dropping the price of a gallon of gas is easy and could happen tomorrow. Think I’m kidding? No, I’m not. You see, once the oil producers and speculators see a significant source opening up, they join forces to keep the price high but fold when they see they’ve been beaten.
Here’s how to do it.
Open ANWR in Alaska. All it takes is an additional 74 miles of pipeline attached to the already existing 800 miles of Alaska pipeline. This could be built in a season! That’s right; in less that a year.
Then, we could have 2.2 million barrels of oil coming down that pipeline seriously augmenting the world’s and the USA’s oil supplies. Prices would drop by at least $1 a gallon.
Open up a small section of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling and we could have oil at prices low enough to allow our economy to flourish. It’s the fastest and most cost effective way to save our nation.
