Part of that clown world is the proposition you can supply your own oil needs.

 

Shale oil is a Red Queen's race, that's why the expression drill baby drill came into being. Production can decline by 70% in the first year.

 

Check out the level of debt most shale oil companies have. Unlike conventional oil wells, that can produce for 30-50 years, most shale oil wells are no longer economic after 5 years.

I never said anything about shale, only you did.
We have all the oil we need right here without it. Shale was the low hanging fruit to get past the granola eaters and it worked.  Move the EPA out of the way and getting oil out of the ground is easy, so is modifying some of the refineries to process light crude. Its not the boogyman you seem to think it is

I have laid out the facts. If you want to be in denial of them, it's no skin off my nose. Bye now.
