IF you want to try to get oil out of sand.... How much oil does it take to generate enough heat to melt the oil tar like substance out of the sand to make a barrel of oil?

What is the quality of the oil.. doubt anything like saudi light crude.g

That's like claiming Canada as the formoest nuclear power because of all the hydrogen locked up in their ice.

Notice the "previously", they still are too expensive to develop unless the cartel can keep oil at $50 / barrel.
