       If President Elect Trump wants America to become self-sufficient in oil and gas, that's a  step in the right direction.

20 Billion barrels oil "reserves" dividing with 8(not 10) : 2,5 Billion barrels recoverable oil
1 ton ~ 6 barrels                                                       400 Million ton    recoverable oil

+ gas et cet.

comparing with the article numbers:
  total Russia(Arctic,Sibiria) recoverable oil estimation    29 Billion ton

   That's fine if we want to keep burning things up, for now, but there are better and cleaner ways to go towards self sufficiency.

Sure, I agree.   He may or may not know something everyone else doesn't.   Be that as it may, the situation on the Pipeline route through the Plains States is getting serious.   The Native Americans there are getting more and more support from outside interests.   They'll defend their land to the death.   They have nothing without the land.   Death may the only way out for them.
       I'm Native American and I know why they think this way.   I'm related to them.   This could get ugly.

They are "native Americans": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States
                                          A native American is never europide ! And have their own territorium!
                                                 Mental blood-brother relationship,probably !

                                              The others : "Made in - ex-colonial - U.S.A."
And now,eventually with an anglo(GB)-saxonial(DE) ancients President ,with an East-Europe-born wife (actually)!

The U.S. Geological Survey announced this week that they have determined that an area of west Texas known as the Wolfcamp shale of the Midland Basin, Permian Basin Province, contains 20 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 16 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.. This would make it the largest oil and gas field in the United States, three times larger than the Bakken Shale area of North Dakota which has produced huge amounts of oil and gas in recent years and contributed the the United States becoming the largest producer of oil and gas in the world.

The international OPEC and U.S. oil politicians will try to have for the next future the crude oil barrel-price-level between 60 and 70 U.S.$,this is the average break-even level from shale gas to GPL .
