Dave,

... illegal to attempt to extract the oil shale ...

Nope, that one's wide open, and proof-wells are in-place and producing far
beyond expectations, a new refinery is approved in South Dakota as of last
Wednesday, construction will start this summer, online in four years.

The shale holds 1 to 2 trillion barrels. More than twice what Saudi Arabia
has.

We need more new refinery's.

We need alternatives to oil, not more of it.

We need more oil in the next 30 - 50 years, which will be time enough to
develop something else that works, like solar electric.

We could begin with an energy
policy not designed by the oil companies.

We could begin with an energy policy to satisfy 300 million Americans that
can't get anywhere other than to put something liquid and burnable in the cars
they own now, and that they will be able to purchase in the foreseeable future.
Hint: These cars will, on the order of 90%, run on gasoline or diesel, not
alcohol, not hydrogen, not electricity, just gas.
