I'm all for shale oil production in the US. Enough already with the mid-east.
Also (and I realize this is beyond the bounds of a T2k setting, please bear with me): our vehicles - air and land - are becoming more and more and more fuel efficient. Even if we ratchet up "regular" oil production in the US by 2020 we'll be able to give Saudi Arabia the middle finger it so richly deserves.
