Not exactly - everyone needs to get used to $6.00 a gallon gas, then the alternative energy possibilities will be cost
competitive. Providing subsidies or tax incentives or old military bases to the oil companies simply puts off the free
market solution.

There is no "free market" here with regard to the construction of
refineries.

In fact, the removal of onerous legislative barriers -- which is what
this bill attempts (and fails, BTW) to do -- will once again allow the
free market to prevail.
