eh sounds like all these people’s lives are significantly better. Also, it sounds like we aren’t shipping oil all the way across the world to be refined into gas nearly as much if we are getting directly from Texas. I could even imagine this being co2 net positive

Shale oil is well-known to have significantly higher CO₂ costs than conventional crude.
At least it's (generally) EROEI-positive, finally (though much of that is a result of burning the lower grade stuff to fractionally distill off the higher grades, which materially contributes to the CO₂ problem...).
