Seems like exploration and innovation driven by the quest for profit may have solved the energy crisis much quicker than windmills and solar panels !

Of course. People underestimate man’s resourcefullness when faced with problems. Of course the GAnggreen will attempt to curtail these activities if possible.
They don’t want an energy solution.

The liberals don’t WANT to solve the energy crisis. They see it as a means to empty exurbs back into the cities, where we can all live in mass transit nirvana.

“As for the US, we may soon be looking at an era when gas, wind and solar power, combined with a smarter grid and a switch to electric cars returns the country to near energy self-sufficiency.”

It just depends...if those miserable capitalist loathing liberals get in the way this will NEVER happen...

We've always had way more gas than they want to admit to.

Shows to go what happens when you get folks with actual ability studying the situation vs political science loosers.

We’re not in an energy crisis.

We are in a leadership crisis.

The upcoming revolt will take care of the latter and ensure the former does not occur.

Natural gas is not a transportation fuel as is liquid petroleum. Natural gas is like my favorate form of stationary power: nuclear.

Natural gas is great stuff but we still need to drill, drill, drill.

But to save the planet from non existent global warming Obama will cripple the US economy with carbon taxes and waste billions on windmills, ethanol and solar plants none of which will meet our energy needs. Perhaps when Americans are sweltering or shivering in their darkened homes and standing in line for their ration of $10 per gallon gasoline they will ask if this was really necessary.

Liberal Democrats in the PA. State Senate just killed an attempt to lease gas drilling on state lands. No overcoming the energy crisis if elected libs can help it.
