As I pointed out earlier, that is the exact argument that they were making ten years ago.
And no, it wouldn’t actually take us ten years to get to the oil, we have better technology.
And no real scientist believes your lie about climate change.

It’s not a short term solution; it wouldn’t affect prices until at least 2020, and even then the affect will be minimal. Here’s something else we could do by 2020:

And considering current estimates put the point of no return for climate change at 100 months approx… we can’t really afford to be dependant on oil in 2020.

Increasing production is a short term solution until long term solutions can be created.
Glad I could correct your statement for you.

Dude, you really think the solution is to drive the world further towards an oil crash? Short term solution is to subsidise, long term solution is to decrease our dependence on oil. That’s increasing nuclear generation and nuclear research, looking into infrastructure to support electric cars etc.

Increasing production is neither a short term nor a long term solution, it’s a stupid-ass “pray for the best” solution.

cvalda,
That is the exact excuse they made ten years ago. If they had done their jobs then, we wouldn’t be paying 4 bucks a gallon today.
