Did Government Create the Shale Gas Boom?

Did Government Create the Shale Gas Boom?

Kenneth Green, American
As I wrote in AEI's online magazine The American, governments, and their supporters, are fond of pulling what I call a Ferris Bueller: seeing a parade pass by, they jump up on a float, sing loudly, dance vigorously, and then claim credit for the parade.Or, as I told a talk-radio host who observed that oil and gas production has increased since Obama was elected, "Yes, well the date on the calendar has also advanced since Obama was elected, but that doesn't mean Obama caused either to advance!" (We debunked the Obama-the-oil-producer claim here.)
