So how can you get the benefit of price-surge based supply without the social-inequality disruption? Minumum subsidized purchases (like first gal costs low-$, more at market rates)? Direct-to-citizen cash payments? "Community based purchasing" - local towns buy what they need, at market rates, but they get massive federal cash influxes to enable them to do so? I'm sure I'm missing something here, but probably there is some mix of tradeoffs that could bette make this kind of thing work.
