ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer spoke to Fox News on Sunday about the current state of domestic oil production and the options available to policymakers to curb rising prices.

“There is a general recognition that we can’t turn on a switch and change prices in the short term, but there are things we can be doing that will impact the long term. In addition to permitting reform and additional drilling, we need to make sure the infrastructure is in place to get the product out of the ground to consumers,” Kupfer said.

“We need transportation and export facilities to be built. We need to take a step back and look at the complete picture and be willing to focus on long-term benefits rather than the short-term political ‘wins,’ he added. “Only then can we lower gas prices.”
