Progress on "Foreign Oil" Imports

So far, the Obozo-ites haven't found a way to shut this down.

Yet.

Two years ago, America was importing about two thirds of its oil. Today, according to the Energy Information Administration, it imports less than half. And by 2017, investment bank Goldman Sachs predicts the US could be poised to pass Saudi Arabia and overtake Russia as the world's largest oil producer. 

Places like Williston are the reason why.

Shale, horizontal drilling, and fracking
