The national energy policy should be hands off - leave it to the market to figure it out. It will. Regulate oil company profits. Is this post satire?

What you are calling for is a US Marshall plan and i with you. I wouldnt be eliminating taxes here though. There is an argument to be made that prices should stay at this level or dare i say go even higher in order to get the public to conserve more and demand their govt take action--QED your energy plan. I think we need to give business and folks who use their cars for business some type of income tax break, given that tax reform wont be coming anytime soon.

>>>Pass alternative energy measures (and stop blocking windmill proposals because it obstructs the distant view of oceanfront property owned by the rich wives of senators who ran for president).<<< I agree with you on the Nantucket windmills. But this is threadbare pittance (really, not even worthy of mention except as a whimsical NIMBY aside) compared to the serious alternative energy proposals and funding Republicans have historically blocked.
