Just guessing that oil shale is America's and CHK's future. Unbelievable what they estimate to be in these oil shale reserves.

This problem with Libya will have a great impact with all of us I would think. The price of gasoline will sky rocket. Do you suppose that the marcellus gas drilling will will be sparked to increased activity here? I was thinking maybe more oil and gasoline fueled cars and trucks will be converted faster to compressed gas. Several of the oil producing countries are having a ruckus with their leaders the last few months.  Will this ruckus be a plus in the long run for developing marcellus in our area during the next few weeks?
