States such as FL or CA that dont allow drilling should be subject to a federal tax for not using their natural resources for the good of the country.
while no NEW refineries have been built capacity has increased, just not enough to keep pace with demand.

I think this is a great idea. Maybe then the state legislatures would think twice about allowing environs to strong arm its elected officials. God forbit you make a 2000 acre footprint on 19,000 acres in order to ease foreign oil dependency. Our priorities in this country are completely out of whack.
