Crank up the gas tax! I'd rather keep that money here than send it off to the Saudi royal family. On China: I don't know. Anyone want to look that up to see whether China or the US has a bigger oil demand? But even if that's true, if we really develop renewable fuels to get cost-competitive with oil, then China could use those renewable fuels as well. It's not like China particularly wants to use oil (or any other energy user). They just want the cheapest thing they can get. If other energy sources flood the global market because we develop them in the US, then the price of oil will fall, and reform around the world will kick in again.
