Doubters, especially “experts” have doubted the shale revolution. But over the past few years US crude production increased from 5 million barrels a day to 8 million per day.

The greens, the soccer moms, the Saudis, and the Dems HATE the shale revolution and are doing everything they can to stop it. Why? Because more domesticly produced oil benefits Americans.

Wow, Banker got paid to write this article which says nothing. His first point is a quibble. 2012 we were just behind Saudi Arabia. I believe that the increase in production from Eagle Ford is enough to put us over the top. He should have gone more into defense of the “self sufficiency” myth. We consume 24 mbd and produce 12. I wasn't really aware of myth 2. Keystone will subdue that.

I agree with article and its conclusions.

Shale oil is overhyped as the panacea for energy for this country.

It is short lived and, in the scheme of things, just a blip.
Should be used vigorously to frighten OPEC while US is enjoying its fruits.

The real deal is Shale Gas. That boom will last many generations for us Americans. Lots of it and it is so cheap compared to oil.
