Solutions
More oil drilling
More use of nuclear power and coal
Passing a windfall profits tax to assure that the oil companies did not become too rich
Solutions
Imposing taxes to assure that the price of gasoline did not fall
Forcing to raise the fuel efficiency of cars
Smaller, More EfficientVehicles
OTHERS
Accelerate Replacement & Control of Existing Dirty Units
Support/Promote Use of Clean New Generation Technologies for New Power Plants and Distributed Generation
Support/Promote Environmental Dispatch (Use Cleanest Units first and Dirtiest Units last and only to Avoid Emergencies)
OTHERS
Address Power Plant Emissions Impacts on RECLAIM and RTC Prices
Minimize Use of Existing Diesel-fired Emergency Back-Up
Implement Executive Orders Support/Promote Conservation Efforts Investment Bankers to the Energy Industry
