It's time to get rid of liberal politicians that force us to send our wealth out of the country. They will not be happy until we're a third world nation. They have said as much in their apologetic speeches around the world. They are not beleivers in American exceptionalism.

But the company is being cautious, refusing to estimate how many barrels of oil could eventually be produced from area. "We don't want to say, because it's still a ways out from commercialization," Boyd said. "But our tests are showing some very favorable results." Shell expects that the oil shale project will reach commercial stage in about 10 years, Boyd said. While that might seem like the far-distant future for motorists paying nearly $3 for gallon for gas, Boyd said the project is moving swiftly. If Shell can solve the oil shale puzzle -- determining how to pull oil from the rocks by means that are efficient and inexpensive - - the formation could become the largest unconventional oil reserve in the world. from CO Springs Business Journal:

The oil companies pay cold hard cash for the leases for the rights to the shale. The only question remaining is whether liberals in Congress will allow the Interior Department to set the ground rules for the companies to begin. Oil shale has been commercially viable in Canada for years now, and it can be in CO, UT, and WY if only the environmentalists would get out of the way. Oliver-

Let them prove their technology on the tens of thousands of oil shale lands they already own or control.

Why are people so scared of nuclear power plants and urban drilling? Nuclear power plants are more safe now than they ever have been and there are plenty of places left in the country, (i.e. Texas) to put them. And with natural gas at $12/Mcf, I would like to have lower residential heating and cooling bills. And with respect to drilling, the EPA and the Sierra bunch have ensured that oil and gas companies have streamlined their drilling processes to limit their environmental impact. Anybody else think that we can last on Saudi Oil for the rest of our adult life. Surely, the rest of you are going to wake up to the fact, the Saudis don't have the reserves they claim to have. At most of the major oil and gas companies they are openly discussing the fact that the Saudis will hit peak production in the next 10 - 15 years, when in fact global demand will increase by almost 20% due to China and India. Yes, the transition for the country will be difficult and people will have to make concessions. But that is life when you are dealing with a "limited natural resource." We can't just stick our heads in the sand and hope that the problem goes away. If only that were true. Why are people so scared of nuclear power plants and urban drilling?
