The American public electing folks that are short sided. Elected folks
that worry about how to get your votes rather than what is good for the
country. people that want their cake and eat is too namely, I want cheap
gas, but... do not drill anywhere in or around the US, and do not build
any refineries in my back yard, do not build nuclear powerplants, etc etc.

None of those arguments hold any water.

All of the 5 major oil companies' CEOs testified before congress and all 5
said they didn't need more refineries. Oil companies aren't even drilling
the oil leases they already have and even if you added all the potential
leases they could get and the potential added capacity, the price at the
pump remains the same simply because there aren't any major oil fields left
in the US which are cost effective enough to produce cheap oil. Nuclear
power plants aren't being built because investors wont invest in them and
they have zero impact on the price at the pump anyway because oil isn't used
to generate electricity in the US to any significant degree.

If you can't afford Avgas, get your glider rating. It's easy to get. The
local glider club here charges $50 per month in dues and $10 per hour with a
$20 tow. On a good thermal day you can stay up longer than your bladder's
capacity. They are also the most fun you can have with your pants on.
