JDN .. Yep .. Oil shales are a huge resource worldwide .. The various recovery processes are water intensive and several of the world's deposits are in areas where adequate water is problematic .. And the environmentalists will object to any attempt to develop oil shale using surface mining techniques ( cheapest way to process the stuff ) vs lower impact and more expensive in-situ recovery methods .. There have been several abortive attempts to initiate an oil shale industry .. last serious effort was during the 1970's oil crisis .. Triff ..
