How to raise fuel prices
How to raise fuel prices
- Create shortages in the oil markets by ensuring domestic oil supplies can never be used. This will force us to get oil from the least stable spots in the world, thus forcing not only higher prices, but forcing us to fund people intent on destroying us.
- Regulate domestic suppliers out of business with NIMBY, and enviro-whackjob policy, and regulations and of course, the great leveler, taxes.
- Make sure that no new refineries are built over a period 30 years, to meet the need.
- Mandate that everyone buys only governmentally mandated formulations of gasoline, thus creating shortages of the ingredients.
