Opening up drilling that the democrats are blocking is critical. But a new refinery if started today would take at least 5 years to build and by some estimates closer to 10 years. The other problem no one wants them near them, but the same people want to complain about prices.

There are short term and long term options, the short term is more drilling and "maybe" provide tax credits to automakers or individuals to bring the price of hybrids in line with gas only models, but also make the credit larger based on the MPG of the hybrid. They can make 100 mpg hybrids, so ramp up the credit on that basis.

A longer term option is to start building the infrastructure for Hydrogen fuel stations. The technology has been proven, keeps environmentalist happy, very fuel efficient ... problem is can't build the cars until people can buy the fuel. The oil comapanies are not going to build the infrastructure to replace their fuel.
