Who can understand the actual energy problems of the USA? The government is following a plan full with taxes and inefficient and corrupt green energy "companis" while experienced SEO guys try to be optimistic and realistic and save the country's economy.

24 billion crude oil barrels in Bakken

According to Harold Hamm, the Oklahoma-based founder and CEO of Continental Resources, the Bakken oil fields could make the United States to main oil exporting country of the 21. century, release the state from the Saudi Arabian help. There would be no cheap Arabian oil anymore, and if the Americans start to drill again after their oil, the wealth of the country will grow again.

But not a chance with President Obama. When Hamm told him about the revolution to replace the OPEC oil with home-produced energy, the president said: 'Oil and gas will be important for the next few years. But we need to go on to green and alternative energy. [Energy] Secretary [Steven] Chu has assured me that within five years, we can have a battery developed that will make a car with the equivalent of 130 miles per gallon.'

The only conclusion Hamm could take after this answer: “These delays kill projects." Not to talk about North-Dakota, the state where Hamm is from : “We can't find any unemployed people up there. The state has 18,000 unfilled jobs” says Hamm and wants Obama to study this state as an example for the future.
