You really think that? Some visionaries can only see their feet. Others see the future.

"This fuel cell system represents a breakthrough approach for unconventional oil recovery. The system utilizes high temperature solid oxide fuel cells to slowly heat the oil shale formation in an "in-situ" manner. The heat travels through the rock, pressurizing the underground formation, lowering the viscosity of the oil in the shale, while creating "off-gases" of high quality. Both the oil and gases are moved into collector wells, where they are extracted by conventional means."

"The compelling innovation of the system is that it is designed to run off the gases that are derived from the heated oil shale formation itself. By using a portion of the gases generated during the process as its fuel, the fuel cell system thus becomes self-fueling. It also produces electricity as a by-product. As a result, this technology simply offers a better net energy balance than other unconventional oil recovery methods. In addition, this is all accomplished without the major environmental impacts associated with oil shale mining or surface retorting alternatives."
