A Workable Plan To Lower Gas Prices: Nationalize Gas for Government Use

The Issue

When the price of gas increases the price of all commodities and energy increases. These are increases that are a direct threat to the security of the United States in the economic climate of 2012.

We ask President Obama to consider an executive order that would cancel all govt contracts with the fuel producers. This would be accompanied by a threat to seize millions of acres the oil companies haven't built wells or refineries on (both EPA approved since the 90's) and a plan for the Army Corps of engineers to erect government oil wells on. The oil from that would be refined to make gas for the federal government and the military thus upsetting the supply/ demand equations the Oil CEOs love to bring in to congress. If they object or it doesn't make prices go down they are on record and can be held in contempt. Ride the Bush coat-tails of executive order in the name of national security and justify it as the price of gas should be considered in these economic times a matter of national security. The speculators would be derailed, the politicizing would be put in check. We ask that you do this in conjunction with continued promotion of renewable energy to save the economy.
