Shale gas

[roguejuror]

The game changer they call it. It changes the dynamics of power of the oil countries. China, United States and Argentina in that order with the biggest recoverable basins. US freed from the Arabs. Unknown consequences to the Earth, it's here to stay. Oil boom.

LOL

Too bad they dont tell you about the part where it takes 3-4 barrels of oil (in terms of energy) to extract 1 barrel from the ground.

Does anyone else understand how utterly unsustainable and -EV that is??

Indeed. Used to have my own mining claim to pieces of land...

All i can say is watch this and be prepared to be blown away

Roguey this is where you need to reside when oil becomes a REAL issue.

Could also use solar up top to power/grow your fruits and vegetables hydroponically.
