Finally, treat domestic energy production as the economic necessity it is and the job creator it can be. Drill, and frack, and lease, and license, unleash in every way the jobs potential in the enormous energy resources we have been denying ourselves.

Despite its many critics, hydraulic fracturing will change the nature of energy production.

He [Douglas] would understand it a little better if there were a few oil wells in Cook County .

The shortest path to more American jobs is more American energy and more jobs that relate to American energy.

Fracking is an incredible risk to the human race, I don't know why they even thought of doing it.

Russia's oil fields are mature and require capital and Western technology even to keep production flat.

Modern life would not be possible if it were not for chemicals, nor would modern natural gas production.

Fracking opens up vast tracts of the U.S. to exploitation by gas drillers. There's enough energy under our feet to last us for decades, maybe centuries.

Since 2006, we have surpassed Alaska, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and California in oil production to become the second largest oil-producing state in the nation, trailing only Texas. In 2012, North Dakota produced more than 245 million barrels of oil and provided nearly 11 percent of all U.S. output.

With the discovery of vast new North American energy resources - thanks to the application of proven technologies like hydraulic fracturing and commonsense regulatory processes on non-federal lands - the U.S. government should no longer be in the business of spending taxpayer dollars on risky, exotic energy projects.

I worked offshore as an oil worker for a couple of years.

We have for too long put vast oil and natural gas reserves off limits to exploration and production, as The Washington Post editorial stated this week.

Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.

New Mexico is one of the top energy-producing states in the nation.

I support American energy production, and it will be produced by companies - Exxon, BP, Shell - and continue to support American energy.

Our customers' business interests are heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry.

Oil production, energy production are growing, though the latter has gone down by about 1 percent here, I believe... By the way, we occupy the first place in the world in gas export, accounting for 20 percent of the world market. We are also first in the sphere of liquid hydrocarbons export.

I think fracking for gas will reduce the incentive to turn to renewables, and I think it will do a lot of other damage across the countryside.

Shale gas, if left to flourish, could create several hundred thousand more jobs.

Energy companies, such as Chevron and Shell, and oil producing countries, such as Kuwait and Venezuela, pump crude oil from their vast land holdings and sell it on the world market.

Thousands upon thousands of people across America and many more across the globe are suffering at the hands of the oil and gas industry.

Gas is almost a give-away in the U.S. at the moment. They've gone for fracking in a big way. This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it... Let's be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it.

Shale is one answer to the U.K.'s energy problem, and it has obviously worked extraordinarily well in America.

I always wanted to find oil. It was always an irresistible calling.
