Since 1973 this "exceptional"country has failed to come up with an energy policy that could prevent all this price gouging nonsense. Every President has tried and failed. There are a myriad of reasons for this failure but as a country we have failed. One final point,yes we can drill,drill,drill,but please remember oil is a finite resourse,it will eventually run out. To me the shame is our inability to promote an energy policy that will work. Not good for this"exceptional" country.
