I sincerely doubt that you know 1/2 as much about extraction processes and the history of energy exploitation as I do, and that's being generous.
You should calm down and re-read what I wrote. I didn't call you ignorant but many people are just that about energy, that's what I wrote.
People need to learn the history of extraction, need to appreciate how their choices and behaviors drive demand for resources and they need to shape up, and to encourage better choices among their friends and family.
Knee-jerk reaction and finger-pointing and blaming Obama just can't compare to familiarity with energy.
You could start by becoming familiar with the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration's website and resources.
http://www.eia.gov/
And I highly recommend browsing a great document from DOE, "Energy Literacy", it's very comprehensible:
http://energy.gov/eere/education/energy-literacy-essential-principles-and-fundamental-concepts-energy-education
Maybe you already know some or all of this stuff, but it's very unlikely, especially the EIA materials, which include state, national, and global data.
Take care, I'm writing these replies for for enlightenment of other readers than to try to argue with you.
