We need to push for the government to require the utilization of the oil shale in colorado. We have more oil locked up in there then the middle east!! We will become
the new middle east if we start utilizing it now. Of course then those countries will
have to rely on China as their biggest consumer and I am sure the companies who
have stakes in those oil fields do not want to lose the US as a customer so there
are probably some shady deals going on in the government to keep the development
of the shale fields. And NO it is not a big environmental problem, They can pump down
CO2 and it turns the shale to liquid so it can be pumped out instead of having to be
strip mined. If everyone who reads this fires off a email demanding the shale gets
developed and tells their family and friends do the same, Maybe they will get on the
ball and the day will come again of $1.00 a gallon gas!! Hey I can wish for it!!
