” The US gets THE BULK of its oil from nearby Canada——which now provides a large percentage of US needs.

Enviro issues are strictly agit-prop. “

Exactly!

As I posted above -- the red-hot center of the 21st century's gold rush is the western Canadian province of Alberta. Spread under 54,363 square miles of boreal forest -- a little less than the land area of Florida -- lie proven reserves of 174 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia's.

What with engineering know-how, huge advances in technology, and the $$$$trillions to be made----a small $100 billion investment will get the Canadian reserves out of the ground in no time....

And it's all in in our own backyard, just down a country road in bucolic, peaceful New England.

===========================================

US oil companies have had tremendous success unlocking big quantities of natural gas from dense shale rock formations in North America. We're talking about TRILLIONS of barrels of oil equivalent in shale natural gas.

THE US HAS REAMS OF ENERGY RESERVES---BUT ENVIROS WONT LET US GET AT IT the US has vast reserves of energy ---- offshore oil, natural gas, coal. We must now consider that the Mideast types are colluding with enviros to keep the US dependent on these violent Mideast backwaters.
