#2 Isn't this why the Saudis are happy with O as president? Making the US as stable as any other ME country means the 'secure source' edge is sort of mitigated. Add in the ban on the export of oil (and anti-Keystone support in the EPA), the Saudis/Gulf Arabs have the means to check the international market from getting too glutted. Meanwhile the Chinese will be glad to pick up anything the Americans previously were purchasing as their industrial base need for the stuff just continues to ramp up.

#6 Diesel prices in my area have dropped substantially since last summer. I doubt they will ever again go below $2 / gallon, though. I junked my old diesel pickup this spring - it would get 22-25 mpg with nothing in the bed, even though it weighed 5000 lb.

#7 Misread the headline as:
American shale revolution ends. Saudi Reigns as oil king.
Didn't like that at all.

#8 Two things really prevent the shale oil from taking off;
First is the tree huggers who cry about the dangers of oil trains,
and second is the lack of capacity of the 6 Class 1 RRs; between lack of rolling stock and ( bigger issue IMHO) is lack of trackage to keep everything rolling. They just now got almost dug out from last year's grain backlog.
