GETTING OIL FROM A STONE

THE BIG PICTURE (hat tip PAJAMAS MEDIA) links to two good articles about oil-shale development out west. (HERE and HERE.)

I posted on coal-to-oil conversion in September of last year.

SO: ample DOMESTIC sources for oil are here - and more importantly - SO ARE THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO DEVELOP THEM: (1) We got the oil-shale and the coal here - (enough to supply the whole planet for a thousand years!); and we got the MONEY to invest in the technology and production.

So.... DO WE NEED GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT?! NO. We just need the price of oil to stay higher than $35/barrel, and we need the government to stay out of the way!
