The USA has the answer, a true solution, and that is natural gas. Over the past few years, we have witnessed the beginnings of a paradigm shift in energy exploration. The shales that we drill through to get to good reservoir rock are now being produced for their natural gas content. This was not possible until fairly recently. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have changed the game. Crappy shale rock is now the mother lode. And we are awash in it. We have enough nat gas onshore for many decades. It's a true game changer. We could solve this nation's energy crisis by converting a large portion of the transportation fleet to use natural gas instead of gasoline. All they have to do is make a commitment to do it... install nat gas filling stations across the country. We got plenty gas, just need outlets. If they do not do this, it's proof to me that the powers that be don't really want to solve this. Because it IS a solution and it wouldn't be difficult to do it. Just do it.
Oil and gas exploration is my business.
