What's your evidence that we are ignoring these finds - lets look at it.
I presume you mean the kerogen - the fossil carbon trapped in shales that we can process into liguid distillates that can then be refined into fuels.
They are bringing the kerogen to market already, at a pretty decent clip, which is good news for us, because it helps keep the price spikes from supply depletion from the north sea and other opec and non-opec producers from sending the price of barrels back up to the 120-140 range.
I think you THINK you understand what's going on, and you are repeating the industry mantras - and there IS a sudden explosion in nonconventional liquids into the marketplace.
But, your claim that the government is suppressing things is mistaken, just like that wall street article you posted, the reality is the federal government is actively trying to get those extractions and liquids happening faster, or as fast as possible, given the objections of the states.
I agree tho we should be converting the transport fleet to natural gas as fast as we can - but we americans have lost the abiolity to innovate in infrastructure, and the free market is broken. So, we will wait until the last possible moment, the start the infrastructure change after we should have, so it will cost us all a lot more.
There are a lot of errors in your other writing, characteristic errors like thinking that oil produced in teh US can be used by the US, when in reality it will be sold into the planetary market - and the constant confusion about what the government allows and doesnt allow, and why - but lets look at this claim that we are "ignoring finds".
