I find the liberal response to this phenomenon highly amusing.

It hasn’t yet hit the public mind, but the “energy crisis” we have all known and loved for the last 40 years has just gone bye-bye.

The only limitation on the amount of oil and gas produced in this country are environmental and other regulations. There is absolutely no reason North America could not be completely energy-independent in a decade.

And AFAIK it all was a result of private companies developing new technology in the pursuit of profit, rather than of a massive government program to “solve the energy crisis.”

Liberals have not yet admitted to themselves that the near-future world of energy scarcity they lust after has just gone away. The only way they’ll be able to maintain it is to artificially cause shortages through regulations, which is likely to cause a real backlash.

You are exactly right! It already is causing a real backlash and I intend to keep throwing fuel on that fire!
