>ANOTHER NAIL IN THE U.S. EMPIRE COFFIN: Collapse Of Shale Gas Production Has Begun - Steve St Angelo - SRSRocco Report
Very naive and pretentious article! The author thinks he knows everything and yet knows next to nothing. Shale gas producers are neither stupid nor running Ponzi schemes. Think of a shale gas field like a car. Every year organisations publish reports of how much per mile it costs to run each model of car. The figure quoted takes into account depreciation, gas, tyres and maintenance. But everyone knows that the marginal cost of doing an extra grocery shopping trip in your car is a good deal less than this figure, once you have made the initial investment in the car. So it is with a shale gas field. Once all the infrastructure costs have been made, the extra cost of drilling some more wells is marginal compared to the value of the gas extracted.

And the US has thrived for many years with imported energy, it's childish to pretend it will collapse once it returns to being a big energy importer. I would suggest the writer think and research more before assuming his couch calculations are revelations.
