US independence
I greatly enjoyed Matt Ridley’s article on shale gas [In America, the shale gas revolution is creating jobs and growth. It can here too, last Thursday].

The implications of America weaning itself off oil and gas imports are as great if not greater than its decline into dependence forty years ago.
