Re: Bush A Realist When It Comes to Gas Prices.

If you like pandering to big oil...

Any new drilling will take 7~10 years to get to the market. That won't solve our problems.
Any new refinery will take years to build. Again, no short term solution.

The only RATIONAL way to decrease prices is to decrease demand. The irrational would be to nationalize and put a price ceiling up.

The good thing about high gas prices is that it makes alternative profitable and thus a good candidate for investment.
