Fracking is only a temporary solution. I've been on a couple well service company sites and the general consensus of the folks I've talked to is that a fracked well has about an extra 5 years production. Hardly a long term solution. Even if we opened up the offshore areas and national parks the easy oil is limited. Sun and wind aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It may not be as easy and cheap as hydrocarbon fuels but as energy prices continue to rise (which they inevitably will) it will even out and without a subsidy it will be cheaper to cover your barns, sheds, and rooftop with solar panels and put a small wind turbine(s) on your property and generate your own electricity (true energy independence). I'm working with some flywheel uninterruptable power supplies at work right now that use a massive flywheel that acts as a giant rotor in a brushless DC motor/generator. With some smart switching you can use your solar/wind to get a 1400lb flywheel moving and when the wind stops blowing and sun stops shining you can used the energy stored in the flywheel inverted back to AC power. No more batteries. Prohibitively expensive right now for home use but will come down in price as manufacturing volumes and demand increases.
This country has a hard time looking forward more than a couple years.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
