Once again a lib is proven incorrect.

“We can’t drill our way out of this.”

Never trust Experts.

Awesome article - will reference this when the Trump haters attack at work.

Obama was shilling for OPEC and screwing America

"no less an authority than Barack Obama"

Always the smartest wiseass in the room...

One thing you got to admire about Obama is it whenever he makes a prediction it’s Fairly reliable that he will be wrong.

In addition to predicting peak oil Obama also predicted Peak economy and in both cases did everything he could to make sure his predictions came true.

Still it was comforting to hear him say these things simply to know he was wrong.

FRAC U BarryBoy !

Fracing and horizontal drilling have been around for a long time

[Hugin]

Right up there with “you didn’t build that”. What a pretentious ignorant ass-clown.

Peak oil! Peak oil! The sky is falling!!

Obama is just another Harvard idiot. There are many of them.

Zer0 was never right about anything. Even a poor decision for a portrait. Big or small, he’s wrong.

Coal gasification could replace a large portion of diesel fuel.

Well, for what it’s worth: every time this British, Indonesian, Kenyan, whatever to hell he was, POS opened his mouth and flapped his lips, he was lying. Biggest lying impostor to ever hit America. Everything about the creep was one big fat lie.
So yeah, we drilled our way out contrary to what this usurping POS had to say. No surprise to me.

But widely unreported during the Obama years is that advances in two technologies most responsible for increased drilling efficiency – industrial fracturing (aka fracking) and horizontal drilling – were creating a revolution in the U.S. energy industry. Production became much more efficient.

That would be hydraulic fracturing, not "industrial fracturing." (What the hell is "industrial fracturing," anyway?

The author of the article seems to believe that being one of the world's largest crude oil producers means that we have achieved energy independence. True...the U.S. is producing around 10 MM BOPD, and that is a significant improvement from the year 2000, when we produced about 5.5 MM BOPD. However, we presently consume roughly 18 MM BOPD, meaning that we are still importing four out of every nine barrels consumed on a daily basis.

All that represents decent progress toward independence from crude oil imports, progress that Obama never thought was possible and could not possibly have engineered in any event, but it's still a long way from zero crude oil imports.

Obama...the big, wrong talker.

[TigersEye]

Obama assured, "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices."

It was an intentionally unfinished statement...

Obama assured, "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices as long as I am President!"

His supporters knew what he meant.

[Theoria]

[DiogenesLamp]

Obama Said We Can't Drill Our Way To Energy Independence. Actually, We Did.

When the man suggested we could deal with the energy crises by checking the air pressure in our tires, the entire nation should have realized he was an idiot.
