1) Nationalize the oil fields and set prices for the oil pulled from the ground. The United states is one of the few oil producing countries that hasn't nationalized its oil fields. All of the OPEC countries along with Mexico, Russia and even Canada have. That is why gasoline is less than a dollar a gallon in Iraq and Venezuela. Only 7% of the world's estimated oil and gas reserves are in countries that allow private international companies free rein.
2) Make speculating on oil illegal.
