<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Western lands opened to oil-shale development]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by lintonhale http://www.grist.org/article/shale/ Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:17:12 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/shale/1 Oil Shale? Not expected until 2018 (if at all...)

It seems, unfortunately that oil shale is notoriously expensive and low quality, from what I've read, for example Post Carbon Institute:
Oil shale: the fuel of the future…and it always will be.

US News and World Report:
"Oil Shale Pushed as Domestic Oil Source, but Many Doubts Remain"

Articles re Shale Oil

Now if we can start drilling offshore, we'll be on the right track.

What we'll really need to do offshore is take the salt etc. out of that water and ship it to where they want to process the oil shale.

In Colorado they're going to run out of water to extract the oil before any of it gets to your gasoline tank.
