With the details at worldoil.com this looks pretty much like a typical pork cycle...
Thanks for posting this. The absence of any knowledge of geology or the earth sciences shows during this debate.
The forest is lost for the trees:

Note the disconnect between politico's breathless press release and the letter from AAPG. The conspiracy theory always seems to play well in the US. Unfortunately these are very large issues; adults are needed!
"this looks pretty much like a typical pork cycle..."
Exactly, you just have to remember that we are talking about politicians so they are not going to make any decisions based on reason, logic or eroei but just their ability to get elected and re-elected:-(
People are complaining about the high price of gas and they want politicians not only to "feel the pain" but do something about the pain. From my perspective in Europe it seems that at the moment any US candidate who does not support more drilling stands no chance of being elected.
