[ExI] Shale as a renewed source of energy

[Max More]

I haven't looked into shale in years, so I'm posting this link with 
an invitation to comment. The piece makes it sound promising as a 
medium-term energy source.

Is shale an answer to the energy question?

Excerpt:
"The United States is sitting on over 100 years of gas supply at the 
current rates of consumption," he said. Because natural gas emits 
half the greenhouse gases of coal, he added, that "provides the 
United States with a unique opportunity to address concerns about 
energy security and climate change."

Recoverable U.S. gas reserves could now be bigger than the immense 
gas reserves of Russia, some experts say.
