Long interesting read:

He out analyzed me. I think that he may be correct for much of it, as well.
This from the article:
However, the quality of the oil skewed the equation of “oil independence.” Shale oil tended to be ultra-light oil, composed mostly of gasoline-grade distillates. Fine, America uses a lot of gasoline because we drive everywhere and incessantly so. The trouble is, shale oil contains little of the crucial heavier distillates: diesel fuel, which the trucking industry and heavy machinery depends on, aviation fuel (basically kerosene), and bunker fuel, a heavy oil fuel for home heating and ships’ engines. Neither did those nearly 5 million barrels a day of natural gas liquids, which were really only used for cutting heavy oil, which was mostly what the USA did not produce and was not well-equipped to refine. The bottom line was that the US had to swap a lot of gasoline to other countries to get heavier distillates to keep the economy going. It worked, but it was awkward and involved a tremendous amount of transport. So, America’s oil situation coming out of 2019 was superficially stabile but fragile.
One of the “dark dirties” is the shuttering of offshore oil mining here in Ca, by the faux Env folks. The asphaltum being extracted was vital to cleaning up coastal waters, enhancing health of the marine biome, removing methane gas pollution from the air pollution index.
It also supplied both foreign and domestic markets with asphaltum based petroleum.
Most people probably do not realize that.
Why not?
Our future really is unwritten. Much of what the Public perceives as reality, exists reliant upon a media based construct, similar in form to what we saw in the Matrix film series.
We can lead or follow. Only that choice determines the fate of Self, Community, and Nations.
I say this a lot: “God reigns, not them”.
Ever find yourself out walking in a desert and seeing a heat rise mirage ahead?
What happens as you walk through it?
Keep going. It can be better. For each one of us.
Everybody matters. Some make a bigger difference than others though.
