“High gas prices aren’t easy on consumers. Most households could find a much better way to spend $1,000 than on filling up the tank. But if there’s a better way to restructure the energy market, expand supplies, and create a long-term source of stable and affording fuel, we haven’t found it yet. We’ve tried ethanol subsidies, “windfall profit” taxes and other market manipulation tricks. None of them have primed the gas pump for lower prices. Now it’s past time to drill. With a barrel of crude selling for more than $70, Congress could let the market work. There’s now plenty of incentive to give ANWR’s caribou a few derricks to look at”. –The Wall Street Journal
