Just imagine how the price would plummet if we where actually allowed to drill for oil.

I'd agree that doing more to encourage additional exploration and drilling would be great for jobs, and maybe eventually for the price. What really could change things would be making NG the alternative transportation fuel in the US. Set a goal of having half of our vehicles run on NG rather than gasoline. Now that would eliminate all need for imported oil in a relatively short time.
