>>But it involves an expensive extraction and refining process. A combination of higher oil prices and better technology over time can make this viable<<

has anyone actually demonstrated that there is less energy input to extract than you get out -- unless the margin is large enough, it won't matter what the COST is?? I have to laugh when folks start talking about recovery of methane hydrates off the ocean floor ...

some folks are really big on fusion -- but it has a similar problem ... would be nice if they could whip that one, but I am not holding my breath.
