If it were me...I would take the reigns off the energy companies a bit and let them build the keystone pipeline (1 million new HIGH PAYING jobs...plus add the jobs in the towns along the route that will service the workers: restaurants, bars, clothing stores, gas stations, grocery stores).
Also the oil companies just found an oil strike in Alaska that they are saying is bigger than all the oil in Saudi Arabia. Let them get it out.
That creates high paying jobs, expands the tax base, brings in more revenue, lowers energy costs...which in turn lowers the cost of EVERYTHING.
I almost choked when Obama denied the Keystone Pipeline. If he had just shown some balls in the face of his cronies who are making bank on the currently non-working "green energy" then I believe he could have turned the economy around and be winning re-election in a landslide.
