I'll hang on to that chart for teabaggers who claim Obama has been bad for drilling in the US.
An increase in production has nothing to do with him. New technology has led to the increase.
******* dumbass.
Fracking has allowed them to reopen old wells.
Government funded technology. Oil people like to credit Mitchell for development of fracking, but he would have never done it without government funding. He drilled 37 or 38 wells testing those methods before he ever had to put a penny of his own money into it. Government grants paid for all of that.
How much did the feds really help with fracking? According to Steward, who was involved with Mitchell’s program from the beginning: “George probably could have done it without the government. The government would not have done it without George.”
Leave it to the far left try and make people worship government.
Ok. He probably could have if someone else supplied all the previous research and hundreds of millions in grants. The thing is that he didn't. Mitchell claiming credit for fracking development it is like a rooster claiming credit for the sunrise.
An increase in production has nothing to do with him. New technology has led to the increase.
******* dumbass.
Where did anyone say it does?
******* dumbass.
I for one keep having to remind the unwashed that "we" don't drill or produce oil; private enterprise does.
Exactly.
Some of these monosynaptic mouthbreathers are desperate to credit Obama with this however.
The chart doesn't even
contain the word "Obama".
Bulldog thinks it does.
Never said it contained his name. It does, however, contain the dates showing when the huge continuous increase of drilling started. Let's see......what can we find that changed at the same time as that huge increase in drilling? Oh I know.........
