>>Offshore drilling will do NOTHING to bring down gas prices now or any time in the future.

ALL energy experts agree on this.<<

That is not true. No energy experts are saying that. Do energy experts even have a clue?
Supply and demand and pricing is a job for economists.

What the experts in the government say the effect will be negligible ("a few cents a gallon"). and that production would not be seen for ten to fifteen words.

I hope that you will concede that there is a difference between their words and yours.

Another word you seem to be missing is "comprehensive". The problem Obama had with the McCain/Bush plan. The problem I had as well was that it was not comprehensive.   

Nuclear electricity generation, without great advances in electric cars has nearly nothing to do with the price of gas. Offshore drilling alone will have a negligible effect. But combine, those three things with recapturing coal carbon emissions, conservation and renewable sources like solar, wind, biofuels and hydrothermal then we will have a comprehensive strategy that can bring us safely into the future and help insure our security and prosperity.
