There is no short-term solution.
Today's energy problems are an effect of yesterday's policy.

which was to claim that expanding domestic drilling was a waste of time then.... because we wouldn't see the benefits from it until now...right?
guess we just keep repeating our mistakes....
hey Zim...worth a read
"But the economic news has not been all that striking. We had a quarter in which economic growth reached 2.8 percent. We’ve had two months with job growth of better than 200,000.
Peachy. But in 1983, the year before Ronald Reagan’s reelection, the gross domestic product rose 8.9 percent not just for one quarter but over the whole year. There were two months when job growth was 729,000 and 660,000.
But some fundamentals are unlikely to change. Voters’ focus is on economic issues and on these most oppose the president’s policies. His media cheerleaders who thought his February numbers meant the election was over were fooling themselves."
