I think we can start by closing the Enron loophole, because it won't matter what energy we end up using, the speculators will drive up the price of it. So that is the first move. That alone might show an immediate reduction in the price of oil and gasoline by 25% to possibly 50%. That isn't going to take us ten years to benefit from, like more drilling, more nuclear power plants and things like that, that have to be constructed before the benefits kick in. And one of McCain's right hand men is Phil Graham, who benefited greatly from the "Enron loophole".
