There are 7 processes known to cook oil shale. 8 if you count making a stove and chimney out of oil shale rocks and burning down your shack when light a fire. The Swedish government had one. They have what are called alum shales. They produced kerogen briefly in the 70's during the oil shortage. Texaco and Shell had promising processes, that they said were not profitable at the time of 30 dollar oil. They actually did better than break even and would do even better at larger scale but there were not the profit margins of pumpable oil. This is moot, really as oil sands does not have the margin of pumping either, but finding it is easier. I don't think they factor all the explo energy when they talk about costs of pumping oil, or the protection for fleets, and the cost of dealing with recalcitrant nations and terrorism overseas. A lot of that is related to oil. Getting energy from shales is easy. Take the rock and light it up. Perhaps some of it does not burn. I don't know if bugs have been tried. EC<:-}
