#1 ...And as it gets closer to $80, fracking becomes more and more profitable on marginal or difficult wells. Checkmate.

#3 I just looked up the current price, and it's about 64.00/bbl.

It's not doing Louisiana much good, everyone I know is struggling, fracking has proved you can drill on land in lots of places and don't have to beg the feds for permission to drill off Louisiana.

You drill a hole on private ground in N. Texas and you don't have to pay any of Louisiana's de jure or de facto taxes.

#7 1903 US oil boom started in Texas, but there were earlier booms in Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as Ontario. Rockefeller's Standard Oil first made it big in Ohio, I believe.

#8 Meanwhile, in the People's Carbon-Free Republic of Washingtonstan. the Longview City Clowncil (composed of mainly idiots and tree-huggers)effectively killed a big job maker when they said the proposed oil terminal would not have its lease renewed if all permits were not in place by 31 March. And the governor, His Highness Jay Inslee has come out opposed to anything that would create jobs.
However, the project has taken the state to court saying they overstepped their bounds and are in violation of the commerce clause.

The terminal would handle up to 4 unit trains of oil from the Midwest. Each train would be 110 or so cars, each car about 30000 gallons of crude.
