texas, in its free market approach, and on its private lands, and in its its use of hydraulic fracturing has rescued obama and masked his total single-handed destructiveness which otherwise would have cast us back to the jimmy carter days of lament and malaise and gas lines and ever higher energy prices and who knows what else
texas has increased its daily production of oil to a 28 year high
alone texas, as a nation, would be the 12th largest producer of oil in the world
texas is on a pace to become the 9th largest producer of oil, if an independent "nation", surpassing mexico, venzuela, kuwait and iraq.
"Abundant low-cost energy is stimulating a revival of manufacturing in the U.S. as well as increased American economic competitiveness," countering what otherwise is "a time of stubbornly high unemployment," notes energy expert Daniel Yergin.
By 2020, according to Yergin, shale gas alone is expected to support 4 million jobs, up from 1.7 million today. That's the year the U.S. (and Texas) will pass up Saudi Arabia as the world's leading oil exporter, according to the International Energy Agency.
NONE of this is due to the energy and environmental policies of the obama administration, in fact, it is DESPITE the policies of the obama administration.
