The shale revolution helped make America’s economy great

We need a "shale revolution" in electricity. That' why we need CRE (Consumer Regulated Electricity).

Key to the shale revolution were private ownership, lots of players, lots of activity, and lots of experimentation. That what CRE brings to the electricity sector.

A highlight from the article: "Unlike many other countries America allows private individuals to own the minerals under their land. That encouraged hundreds of companies, big and small, to get into the shale business, and as they drilled more wells, they developed a better picture of where the richest reserves lay. This was an important differentiator between America and countries where big, lumbering national oil companies moved more tepidly."

(Sorry but the linked article is paywalled.)
