The big problem with the oil shale deposits is that it takes alot of water to mine and process them, and the Western U.S. doesn't have a lot of water. Perhaps they could be shipped to the gulf coast for processing? Gore would have certainly taken us on a starkly different course environmentally. I think Greens made a big mistake supporting Nader over Gore in 2000. Gore wasn't perfect, but he was the closest to an environmentalist President we would ever have ever had and he would have been far better than the anti-technology and anti-environment Bush. The funny thing is now it is those trying to preserve the old order like Bush, the petroleum economy, that are the ludites of the modern, the ones fighting against technology to save their markets. The enviros as no longer ludites, but actually forward thinking persons looking for a new energy technology to run our economy on. Bush and his cronies would like us to remain in a 20th Century oil economy, when there is no technological reason why we have to do so anymore.
