I am not qualified to judge where gas excitement crosses into hyperbole. I pass on the story because the claims of BP and Statoil are so extraordinary that we may need to rewrite the geo-strategy textbooks for the next half century.

As for the US, we may soon be looking at an era when gas, wind and solar power, combined with a smarter grid and a switch to electric cars returns the country to near energy self-sufficiency.

I do have concerns about the geologic ramifications of removing millions of tons of earth from one place and moving it to another.

Yeah, it's not like that's a natural occurrence at all unless you consider plate tectonics...

If I weren't so naive and trusting I'd swear you were working for a major coal company and were engaging in a smear campaign against natural gas resources by exploiting our natural fear of completely natural disasters.

What do you think we've been doing for the last 150 years?

This energy independency will not happen under Obama...especially with things like Cap 'n Tax that will pass congress earlier next year.

Of course not, why would it?
Only Republicans can do anything.

Obama will tax whatever savings we could ever get out of all this and the end result is we'll just buy the stuff from people who don't like us.

So the status quo is maintained, isn't that the basis of conservatism?

Well you're right extraction of resources can have geological stability effects - look at the overextraction from the London water table for one example.
