Well the so called shale oil boom hasn’t panned out. The problem is they have to use steam to work the oil out of the shale and then they have to remove the water. It’s not cost-effective yet. The technology hasn’t been proven. The energy that they’ve been getting is true fracking. That’s pumping chemicals deep within the ground and breaking the bed rock forcing under pressure the oil to rise to the surface.Neither Obama nor Trump deserve credit for the oil boom. However, Trump did less to interfere with the oil boom. Obama was restricting oil companies from wildlife refuges and was encouraging the EPA to stifle their progress with crushing environmental restrictions.
which had nothing to do with the shale oil boom in the western states
