absolutely......the retail fuel industry has been screaming at legislators as well as the news media for over a year that normal market forces i.e. supply and demand, had broken down regarding oil / fuel prices. The curbing of speculation trading for commodity oil was and is needed. One of the quickest means of stimulating the economy is continued pressure for government to support domestic crude developement.Massive job creation is nearly instantaneous.Ya gotta back off some of the "over the top" regulations.In my region,central US,drilling has been shut down this year and jobs are going out the window until further notice.Meanwhile, we pay higher than expected fuel prices because of continued high import of oil.
VERY SIMPLE ECONOMICS = develope domestic crude.
