so we literally cannot even have energy self sufficiency like they said cuz despite producing oil we can't process it in quantities to match our needs because we have an assbackwards system of importing to refine other oils then selling our local brew.

FRACKING AND SHALE OILS ARE A BIT IFFY ON RETURNS SUPER RISKY TO DEVELOP THEM AND YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH ACTUAL VOLUME YOU CAN ACCESS "SORRY, NIGGA! BUBBA COLLAPSED THE POCKET BECAUSE OUR INITIAL ESTIMATE OF HOW STABLE THE ROCK LAYERS WERE WITH GROUND PENETRATING RADAR WERE SLIGHTLY INCORRECT. WRITE OFF HALF THE POTENTIAL YIELD FROM THIS SITE. ALSO WE CONTAMINATED THE LOCAL AQUIFER WITH DRILL MUD LUBE. WHOOPSIE DOOPSIE POOPSIE!" THEY'RE ONLY MADE VIABLE BY THE RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP LENDING, WHICH MEANS THAT THE UPFRONT LUMP SUM INVESTMENT IN PROCESSING FACILITIES FOR LIGHTER OIL WERE DEEMED TOO RISKY YOU COULD INVEST BILLIONS, WAIT TEN YEARS, AND BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG IF THE SHALE MIRACLE ENDED AND NOW WHO'S GONNA BUILD THEM? NOBODY BUILDS ANYTHING HERE ANYMORE
