We have single states that have more energy potential in coal than Saudi Arabia has in oil. So it goes beyond drilling for our own oil, it is overlooking other energy that is already here in abundance. I look it at as a way to separate from the oil ticks and become independent from the RoP. Diesel from coal is viable but first we have to stop ethanol subsidies and beat back the anthropogenic global warming alarmists. It doesn’t matter if oil is $5 a barrel or $205 a barrel. What is important is separating ourselves from the dependence on these idiots and their death cult.
Excellent points. Thanks.
