But NYS has said "No Fracking" and without good reason.
The way I figure it, by the time NYS gets around to saying yes, the method will be so over regulated AND TAXED, that the consumers won't save a dime. What's new??
What's the real reason???....basic political arrogance"....just like Obama and his green or bust policies.
and obama will spin it to his advantage, the republicans will waffle and the dems will destroy the industry. Its a sad time when you can’t easily rejoice for new industry in a country thats starving for it.
Most of this good news is moot if the envirowhackos continue to have their way.
Of course, if we end up with gasoline at $4.50-$5.00/gallon by election time, there’s no way that Obama and the Dims will avoid a crushing defeat. Maybe then we can actually open up more land for drilling and fracking, and also open up some offshore areas. There is no reason on Earth that the US cannot be completely self-sufficient in energy for several hundred years - save that of political idiocy, of which there is no shortage. Between the resources discussed in the subject article, and the several hundred years of coal reserves that we have - which contain enormous amounts of thorium that can be used in very safe LFTRs, part of the energy of which can be utilized to liquify the remaining coal - we are set. We are incredibly blessed...if only we’ll take advantage of these resources.
“How the US Shale Boom Will Change the World”
It will provide full employment because 47% of the working age population in the US will be employed by the EPA shutting down energy production?
But of course nop company can get a permit to get to the stuff so what difference does it make? Unless of course you are suggesting likely locations of Chinese take over
And more fart jokes per capita than any other nation on earth!

Running cars on Natural Gas is something that has been around for a very long time. I saw it in Canada ca. 1990 and I’m sure it probably goes back way farther than that. I wonder why we’re wasting time and effort on stupid golf cart cars and just kick off an effort to fit (or retrofit) cars to run on NG?
Peak oil! OMG! Peak oil! We don’t have enough oil to last more than 20 years!
I’ve been hearing this since 1970 and it has only gotten much worse lately. Back in the 2008 manipulated oil bubble you heard it here every single day.
I’m going to bitch slap the next person who says we are running out of oil.
We've been hearing about how oil shale is going to supplant petroleum for almost 150 years now.
There were 59 other men hired with him, but he and seven others were hired as foremen for the others. He is happy to be employed, and happy to get OT, but the best part is the benefit package. Even though he didn't technically go to work until January, his health and insurance packages were immediate. (I love a happy ending!)
