And they have no friggin idea of the complexity and efficiency of the extraction processes, whatever they may be....

They are also conveniently ignoring, assuming that they even know, that shale oil is not petroleum. The effect of it is the same; it yields a perfectly acceptable fuel, and that is what matters. As to the extraction problems, with oil at $100+, it is totally economically feasible. And the extraction process is not, as JFS is trying to claim, some kind of ultra-expensive, ultra-complex process. Sure, it is more difficult than sticking a pumpjack on a hole in the ground. But if the government will make the land available, there is no doubt that production will ramp quickly.
