cwill hates when I point this out, but I think it's valid. If you win a dollar a year for a million years, is that really a big deal? Flow rate is really what matters. How much can we get out per day/year to offset declines elsewhere?

I hate it because you and others assume a technological constant...as if our extraction technology is frozen in time and there will be no advancement.
And this stuff is more akin to the oil sands....it's not like the shale we're drilling Hz into and fracking.
