But not only did the Obama Administration not do anything to enable the technological breakthroughs that produced these results, it has actually fought increased oil and gas production every step of the way, and has continually threatened the fracking technology that has made the sharply increasing American production possible.

The fracking technology that has created the natural gas, and now oil, breakthroughs was developed 50 years ago by private oil and gas interests, and has been in use for over 40 years in more than one million wells, with not one proven case of the groundwater contamination manipulative environmentalists decry.
