This would stimulate the economy and improve our security. A barrel of oil's value would be cut to $50 a barrel and our demand for middleeast oil would dissappear. And if the gulf countries had half of the income they would have half as much money to funnel to extreme causes. This would defeat inflation and stimulate our economy because our economy is completely dependant on cheap energy. All of the manufacturers are raising prices because of more expensive raw materials because of the shipping charge increases and because many of the raws are currently fed by the price of crude oil. In addition we could even double the size of this program if needed in a few years and tell the mideast oil producers that their product can't be sold in the U.S. - it is time to wake up and put america first - the crown prince of saudia Arabia and the other OPEC producers would be powerless for the first time in decades. And we could get rid of the silly stragtegic petroleum reserve which currently gives us a 3 month supply of oil if OPEC stops production. And When we buy our plug-in hybrid (in about a year) cars most consumers would pay the equivalent of $ 0.75-$1.00 for fuel and give our money to our local power company instead of countries that harbor terrorists. This will turn are economy around much better than handing out checks to all americans so that we can buy cheap goods made in asia. We can be energy independant right now - industry is too stupid to do this on their own - we have to do this now!
