Silly doomers. I already posted something like this not long ago.

U.S. gas, oil Infrastructure spending jumps 60 percent in four years
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ASHINGTON, January 16, 2014 – Recent cold weather spells have helped to underscore the importance of America’s natural gas supply lines and ongoing infrastructure investments, API Chief Economist John Felmy told reporters on a conference call today:

“Reliable, affordable energy requires a 21st century system of transmission lines, pipelines, and energy infrastructure,” said Felmy. “The recent cold snap provided a chilling reminder of what happens when demand approaches the limit of our current ability to bring abundant U.S. supplies to the regions that need it most.

“A new study released last week by IHS shows that capital spending on oil and gas infrastructure increased by 60 percent between 2010 and 2013, thanks to America’s shale energy revolution. With the right policy choices, these investments will accelerate, providing a major boost to the economy, creating jobs, and strengthening the supply chain to consumers.

“In total, IHS anticipates up to $1.15 trillion in oil and gas infrastructure investments over the next 12 years, contributing as much as $120.58 billion to U.S. GDP; supporting as many as 1.15 million jobs; and providing an additional $27.45 billion in government revenues on average, annually between 2014 and 2025. These are private dollars – not public funds – ready to put shovels in the ground.

This thread was supposed to be about the US economy, so I thought you were referring to US oil and gas spending.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hat's only infrastructure spending. IE. Pipelines, transmission lines, etc. If you look at upstream investments, larger amounts of money are being poured in for smaller gains:
