"- costs too much to tank up just to heat homes and drive"
- I think the article quotes a production cost of about $30. per barrel and with the world price at between 40 and 45, it is profitable to extract. More to the point however, is that it would make the US immune from middle eastern blackmail which is always a danger. Also, the US could afford to squeeze Mexico and Venezuela should they start to get cocky about having the US economy, "over a barrel" so to speak.
