Fracking is good and tested technology, been around for decades. Here's a thought. We have a bunch of oil refineries along the Gulf coast; what if there was a pipeline running from the Dakota's to say, maybe the Houston to New Orleans area?

as I understand things, OPEC manipulates the market through their increase or decrease of production, but they themselves don't set the price.
It is still the commodities market, meaning Wall Street mostly, that sets the prices.
I can only hope OPEC is getting a tad uncomfortable with the predicted oil output from North Dakota to come.

Wow. Talk about wrong info posted! I guess everything on the internet is not true! LOL
Please show me where fracking has produced diesel or any other crude oil distilate? And out of all the the production from fracking, the majority is for natural gas, not for crude oil.

Wrong. 1,000's of wells being drilled into the Bakken formation in North Dakota and Montana. Most all are being fracked. An almost 99% success rate on each well drilled with fracking.
Folks, the real exciting news with oil is currently the Bakken formation, mentioned earlier.
BUT, there is an even larger shale oil formation just recently found underneath the Bakken called the Three Forks formation.
In other words, given enough time, North Dakota will produce more oil than ANYWHERE ELSE on the planet.
Local officials and oil company papers are stating there are at least another 1,000 wells to be drilled in just the NW area of North Dakota alone.
Folks, that is going to be a lot of oil, and perhaps our end to foreign imports. And that would be very good news.
