We have the bitchiest labor force in the world, and rightfully so, we're used to a higher standard of living.
US workers produce some of the highest quality products in the world. The added protections of the US legal system combined with the world largest economic base will definately bring more companies to the US.

We have billions of barrells of oil here. There is an estimated 3 TRILLION barrells of shale oil. I agree we need renewable energy, but until we have a viable source we have to use what we have. Nuke for electricity, NG for electricity, and appliances. Leave the oil for the cars and watch the demand go through the floor. I'm sure the price per barell will follow.
