The US oil industry is in trouble and trying to sell the magical thinking that they will somehow learn to double oil extraction rates from shale. Sure. Hart Energy is about as pro oil as you can get and they are now referring to US oil as "stagnant."

Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.
