IHS Report: Shale & Fracking Delivered U.S. Energy Independence

| |
IHS logoA new report just issued by Global consulting and research firm IHS, says that Canadian oil sands and U.S. "tight oil" (i.e. shale oil) production have "become the twin pillars of North American energy security." Canada's oil sands the shale in U.S. represent 95% of the growth in North American oil production from 2009-2015. Over the same time we reduced our dependence on offshore oil imports by 40%. Folks, this is HUGE. Fracking of shale is nothing short of a miracle in our country. For Crazy Bernie Sanders to shout, as he did at a rally in California last week, that "We are going to ban fracking all across this country" is insanity itself. Can you imagine if that fossil actually became President and signed an Executive Order banning all fracking? Hillary Clinton's position is essentially the same as Crazy Bernie's. Loony tunes. For the first time since the oil shocks of the 1970s when OPEC began to royally screw us over, we now can tell OPEC where to go pump their oil. You can see why Obama's decision to deny the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada is so stupid and damaging to our energy security...
