I read a LOT of stuff every day. And this caught my eye (from Supply Chain 24/7 – Reshoring).
The overall manufacturing-cost structures of Mexico and the U.S. have significantly improved relative to nearly all other leading exporters across the globe.
The key reasons were stable wage growth, sustained productivity gains, steady exchange rates, and a big energy-cost advantage that is largely driven by the 50 percent fall in natural-gas prices since large-scale production of U.S. shale gas began in 2005.
“Shale gas” is another way of saying “fracking”.

building equipment to torture children would help manufacturing and so would making zyklon B! SO WHAT.
Clever Boy,
Ah. So you are a shill for the Persian Gulf Oil States – the leaders in the anti-fracking movement. Good to know whose side you are on.
And you will note that the Great Palestinian – the Mufti Of Jerusalem – was a huge proponent of Zyklon B. He raised two divisions for Hitler among the Moslems to help administer it. Yasser Arafat called the Mufti “Uncle”. Which was probably an honorific.
If you’d told people ten years ago that U.S. peak oil production was well into the future, I don’t think anyone would have believed.
Also, on an unrelated topic, can we get some better trolls? Who do I complain to? Should I schedule something with Soros? Sending over their third-stringers, it’s insulting.
