The shale phenomenon: fabulous miracle with a fatal flaw

A friend recently pointed out this article by Randy Udall In The Christian Science Monitor (Feb. 22, 2013). It provides further support for my position that shale gas and oil that I expressed in a post last April:  the developments are fine, but one should keep them in perspective. Bakken is no Ghawar.

  1. Thank you for your comment. As others posts in this blog show, I am not opposed to the oil and gas industry, and recognize the benefit of increased production through fracking (see my two posts of Feb 14, 2014). In this post I was pointing out that shale oil resources are limited, and we better use the time they buy us wisely by developing truly sustainable-over-the-long-haul technologies.
