Whiskey: Cut our refiners some anti-trust slack: Let them guarantee $80 to $90 a barrel for ANY AND ALL crude oil—-or similar refineable substance produced in the USA or contiguous states and guarantee that price for 30-35 years.

Current producers will be happy to lower prices in return for sustained income especially when they know that anything else they can come up with will also get a profitable price.

We will run a surplus in short order. The kleptocrats will find themselves selling much less volume for much lower prices. Price at the pump will soften but remain high enough to discourage prolifigate use.

I do know the oil bidness. It is the wild swings in prices that cause the inability to meet debt service/retirement resulting in
bankruptcies for the last 20 years or so.
Do a little price fixing—-for the locals only— and we got that problem whipped.
