Care to back these innocuous words of yours with some facts, numbers and locations?
Apparently they fail to teach economics 101 at Karl Marx University, but it goes like this:
When the value of a product, determined by a demand, makes the production thereof a profitable proposition, someone will produce. This is called the supply side of the equation. As long as there are not other limitations, demand and supply will reach an equilibrium at a mutually agreeable price. Other limitations might include a lack of raw goods, limiting supply, other competing products, or government intervention, which will increase or increase costs artificially.
In the case of carbon fuel, there is no shortage of raw goods, between coal, oil, and NG, the US has at least decades of raw goods. Demand is rising, and with an abundance of raw goods, the potential for profitable exploitation is valid. Where there is profit, there will be production. It is the government that is standing in the way, and fuel costs have near doubled in the past 4 years.
As for where, there is ANWHR, the gulf, Idaho, Penn, Colorado, South Dakota, and others to numerous to mention.
The number is simple. we need to produce approximately 13 million barrels more than current production to make ourselves self sufficient.
