Predictable

W's solution to high gas prices:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Tuesday ordered a temporary suspension of environmental rules for gasoline, making it easier for refiners to meet demand and possibly dampen prices at the pump. He also halted for the summer the purchase of crude oil for the government's emergency reserve.

Relax pollution controls. This is kind of like his solution a few years ago when there were lots of wildfires out west: Open up more federal lands to logging.
