Chris burying the lead
Look at his first graph. Our oil production is basically steady, our coal production is basically steady, and are natural as production is absolutely sky-rocketing!
Seems like some version of the "Pickens Plan" is appropriate here. Drill-baby-drill works for natural gas. Lets replace gas with oil for the next decade or so.
Maybe when the gas runs out we can worry about all this renewable stuff. Heck, when the gas runs out, the batteries for electric cars will probably be working.
So why not drill more gas and use more gas!? Landowners make money, gas companies make money, people that drill the gas make money, and Americans save money. Seems like a win-win-win-win to me.
???We???ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high.???
True, but nothing to brag about"
Nothing to brag about? That's a lot of jobs on those oil rigs. You must be independently wealthy to turn your nose up and honest work.
