Here is the latest Republican solution announced, in very general terms by the Sen Minority Leader yesterday:
* open parts of ANWR and the OCS to drilling
* invest in the the development of oil shale in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah
* invest in clean, coal-to-liquid fuels
* accelerate the development of advanced batteries to power plug-in hybrid vehicles
* encourage the construction of new refineries
* suspend filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for six months

environmentally and economcally sustainable solutions and a recognition of the need for short-term sacrifice.
