Kudzu is a curse that takes over and destroys everything in it’s path, just ask SC and parts of NC...it’s creepy and creeping. Good food for groundhogs though.

this is all fracked oil/w horizontal drilling. It comes from the source rock that fed oil wells of earlier generations.

Imagine an energy boom w/o ethanol scams or commies.gov extortion ! \

And how about Beef Prices not going through the moon because we are making Ethanol out of Cow food.

I dang near choked today when just being a lookie-loo at the meat counter and saw Petite Filet Mignon @ $29.95 a POUND...

"In another decade or so something very different is going to happen. demand for oil is going to go down as electric cars and natural gas vehicles gain traction.

That’s when the price of oil will start to ratchet down.

Probably, so come on down....we will load you up. Must have lots of water to survive though.

Only wishful thinking here on kudzu. Temps go down to near -40 F in winter with precipitation about 12-13 inches per year—mostly snow, and evaporation is fast with high winds about half the time.

This shale oil is very costly to get.

What does your unidentified sources say about this play?
Surely they are dropping confidential tidbits your way.

“Early estimates suggest that this oil rich region could contain 7 billion barrels of recoverable oil….”

That’s a good thing alright — but, for some perspective, the Alberta oil sands have 175 billion barrels of proven reserves (and as much as ten times more, depending on advances in extraction technology). Just a pipeline away from you.

That’s the plus for LA as there are refineries and pipelines in place or
can be put in place if needed.

Wise women avoid goats, because kudzu isn’t all they eat...flowers, vegetable leaves, vines, and everything one wants to keep them out of.

“It’s the next BLM turtle grazing area!”

But what’s BLM gonna do? Dirty Harry have sights on this area for another ‘solar farm’?

“Wish I could get kudzu to grow...”

NO...NO YOU DON’T!!! Never, never, ever! You would rue the day you planted the first sprig.
