The technology for finding, recovering, and even the more efficient use of, oil and gas just keeps increasing. One of these days some scientist who isn’t thinking about the politics of it is going to announce, with a stack of hard data in front of him to back it up, that there is enough gas and oil to go hog wild for a million years. ;-)
While the shale isn’t going to be a replenished resource, oil seems to be to a certain extent. This must drive the moon-bat left into the arms of their on-call psychologists.
Glad that is not a part of my life.
Looking into the future maybe they’ll finally realize that the process of making oil is right in front of their eyes, it’s called the ocean and it’s churning it out daily. the real discovery will be when we’re able to duplicate that process at a level to become feasable.
