"So I guess I don't know why you brought in this extraneous issue of whether it's a "long term solution" into the discussion. "

It's not extraneous. See the title of the thread.

It's not extraneous. See the title of the thread.

The title of the thread makes no mention of what you're implicitly talking about (i.e. long term solution to our national energy supply). It talks about gasoline costs.

Are you asserting that allowing drilling in more domestic sources would have no effect on gasoline costs?
