with fracking enabling access, the US has larger oil reserves than anyone in the world

Got a link to info showing that? If it references the Green River, that cannot be produced by hydraulic fracturing. Completely different than what we have in Bakken, Eagle Ford, Permian, etc...

No. Not referring to Green River. Eagle Ford and Permian (Sprayberry) and horizontal drilling mostly. These are not the articles I originally read, but say the same thing in a dumbed down version.
