My whole life the United States sort of dreams about becoming independent from Middle East oil and then all of a sudden we can produce but do we sell it to Americans at a cheaper price? NO...it is sold on the world market for whatever the new demand of developing nations can pay.

And it looks like the none of the companies care about the environment or the effect it has on people that live next to the shale sites.


Am I on drugs but was OPEC that bad after all? I think in the short run we may get cheaper gasoline (somewhat) but in the long run fracking may keep us from getting to green as fast as we should.
