Looks good on paper, but when OPEC banned exporting oil to us in the 1970’s, it was not pretty (I was a pre-teen at the time, but remember it well).
I disagree. The secret today is we have immense supplies of natural gas that could last a long long time. Much of it has come online or is coming online. Why now? Horizontal drilling.
We have a lot more energy arround the 48 states and Alaska onshore on Federal Land and private land. The states need to grab it back and develop it.
