Congress should not lift the ban on offshore oil drilling.
I postulate keeping "our" oil in the ground as long as possible. We should use other countries' oil first, and only then turn to using our reserves. The high prices of oil are - in a sense - good for us: they will force more conservation, and in general, more frugal style of life. And that's good.

The government should regulate greenhouse-gas emissions.
Unfortunately, the "tragedy of commons" situations are only fixed by a disaster or by governmental regulations. Even if it seems, at least for now, that the two are indistinguishable, I still prefer the government.

The federal government should not release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Strategic Reserve is exactly that: reserve, to be released only in dire need (real war, natural disaster, etc.)

The U.S. government should not provide incentives for manufacturers to build fuel-efficient cars.
Free market takes care of that.

The U.S. should not allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (ANWR).
We should use resources of others first, before we start using ours... I wrote a piece on that in my blog: http://laslo-blog.blogspot.com/2008/02/case-for-not-drilling-in-anwr-yet.html
