I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the US is now a net exporter of energy supplies and refined products. Oil and gas jobs are among the highest paying with greatest opportunities for advancement and entrepreurship. This has been the lone area of actual economic growth in the US economy, as opposed to service jobs or government service.

The industry has employed millions, either in direct E&P (exploration and production) activities or in infrastructure such as steel, rails, pipe, sand, and oil field services, not to mention the spin-off effects of oil and gas revenues being invested in homes, restaurants, hotels, air travel and the like. This will have a dramatic and wide spread effect on the US economy.

Enjoy your cheap gas until your employer announces they have to lay you off.

The tens of millions who were laid off, lost careers, jobs, investments and on and on, when gas was sky high, probably don’t have much sympathy...

Indeed how there is such hate for the well paying resource sector for non-existant “tech” or “green” jobs.
