How can these increase supply and reduce cost of fuel?

Question

Constraining refining capacity, putting new drilling and exploration off limits, taxing large oil companies for profits deemed excessive.

Now please who deems what is excessive? Congress? The Democrats?

How can restraining refinery output through regulatory actions increase supply?

Prohibit drilling in the untapped US resources, how does that work to reduce prices at the pump?

I'm not sure about you but it seems that Dean and Dems are dumb, nothing they have proposed will increase supply, reduce price at the pump or reduce our dependence on supplies from other countries.

BTW, that is essentially a quote from Dean for the Dem economic plan, deanonomics.

Answer 1

When tthere is more demand than supply, which is uor case, more costy the thing is going to be. If you had more supply people wouldn't want as much and the prices would go down. The thing is why is a PSP so expensive? at first everyone watns it. and then ppl don't want it so the prices go down. Another i believe is taht gas prices shouldn't be this expensive anyway. Think buot it. 65 bukcs for a barrel. barrel has lets say 45 gallons. 45*3bucks per gallon is...? 135 bucks
yeah it costs to refine it, but these oil companies can do it for so cheap and the cost is near nothing. Thats the way i c, But yeah thats how suplpy would mke the prices of things go down.

Don't you know? Supply and demand is a myth. It's all BushCo and his cronies that control prices. BushCo has stopped the building of any new refineries for the last 30 years. BushCo has stopped the search for new drilling sites. BushCo has....

hold on, gotta take another hit from my bong.....

...ah, that's good stuff....where was I?

Oh, yeah. BushCo is evil. That's what Nancy Pelosi says, and she's so hot.
