It was made this way by the previous administrations efforts. Then sustained by great reduction in energy usage. We'll see how this trends through 2022 but I'm not optimistic.
- chiefalchemist 5y agoReduction in energy usage? Maybe. But the increase in production is mainly due to fracking.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoIt was made this way by the folks who figured out how to do fracking. Politics had little to do with it. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=M...
- koolba 5y agoAllowing or banning fracking is pure politics.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoBy that reasoning everything is pure politics. Cars? Forget about inventing the internal combustion engine, because "allowing or banning the internal combustion engine is all politics". And so on.

- wolverine876 5y agoIt was the American public: Fracking was developed in a federal government research program in the early 1980s, IIRC.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoYep, lots of people involved. It wasn't being done economically at large scale until 2000 something though. I think the very first things considered fracking were done before the 80's, and various companies/people made improvements along the way...
