Then they're throwing good money after bad and their unavoidable failure should bring joy to those so inclined.It explains the existence of multi-million dollar rigs for squeezing the last drops out of the stone but it doesn't mean they're going to save us.

You mean those twisted individuals who sometimes fall prey to doubts that the future isn't going to be better and brighter? They must be made to consume more soma!
I don't want to get off-topic, but every now and then I think that we could develop the technology that would make the oil...obsolete:

This thread is about shale oil, not shale gas. However, it appears that the US Energy Information Administration is not all in agreement with NY Times articles:
I wrote several comments about this but have scrubbed them. Economic development is a contentious issue and keeping discussion low key is probably a good idea.The Energy Information Administration's perspective on shale gas
A June 27, 2011, New York Times article, “Behind Veneer, Doubt on Future of Natural Gas” focuses on the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) consideration of shale gas. EIA was contacted by a Times reporter in advance of the story, and provided a response that described the agency’s approach to developing its shale gas projections. Those interested in EIA’s views on shale gas, which differ in significant respects from those outlined in the June 27 article, may want to review the EIA response to the inquiry from the Times (http://www.eia.gov/pressroom/releases/pdf/shale_gas.pdf), the Issues in Focus discussion of shale gas included in the Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/IF_all.cfm#prospectshale), and a recent presentation on domestic and international shale gas. (http://www.eia.gov/pressroom/presentations/newell_06212011.pdf ).
