I think he should lift the executive order! Doing that wouldn't allow any more leasing till Congress acts, but it would put the onus on them alone.

Alt energy will be the future, but in the meantime energy efficiency is the only answer to the "oil crisis". And as with any project, you start with the low hanging fruit... the inefficiency of the personal vehicle.
