Re: And do you know how much shale it takes to make a barrel of crude?

The shale beds are mostly in Colorado, and the production of a synthetic crude from the kerogen in oil shale requires vast amounts of water in the production process. Shale oil is a non-starter given today's water situation in the West. The tar sands of Alberta will be developed long before the U.S. becomes desperate enough to build up an oil shale industry.


The shale of CO is a joke.....there isn't the water to support the industry. In fact, the CO river is going dry.

As for the Alberta tar sands, crude at $30 per barrel was supposed to make oil extraction viable.......strangely enough, now that crude is at $55 per barrel, an increase in extraction has not happened in the tar sands. I guess another urban legend bites the dust.

The GOP will do anything to avoid conservation......its against their religion. The holy goddess of the divine, Ms. Coulter, said it all.......the planet is here for the raping by the GOP. So they draw on shale and tar sands straws while they rape, I mean drill the ANWR.
