The story left out the part where environmentalists come from all corners of the world to protest the exploration and search for wetlands or endangered species.Yup.
Texas and California at the turn of the 20th century.
And the enviro-weenies have nothing to offer as a solution to our nation's energy requirements.

Sure they do. Wind and solar, but only so long as it’s not used in industrial quantities. Thn it kills birds or prevents sunlight from reaching the ground. Then it’s evil.

The beauty of horizontal drilling is that you can drain several square miles of reservoir from one two or three well (multilateral wells) production location.

A lot of that oil (in the older CA fields) is still there: The easy barrels (first 25%-30%) have been pulled out, but the rest of the rock “refills” from untapped zones back to the pumped regions and you can begin begin pumping/fracturing/pressurizing & sucking it out again after several years.
If they let you drill at all, that is.

They don't
want a solution.
How can you get people back to living in caves, if you develop low-cost, effective energy sources?
