AN, I hope I didnt offend. I had a feeling that whole series of posts was totally tounge in cheek. I just wanted people to understand the consequences they dont see on a day to day basis.
I know this has nothing to do with anything, but can oil shale be made into the base ingreadients of fertalizer and pesticides? Maybe a good way to deal with gas prices is to drive the 40% or so of oil consumed for NON-transportation related purposes to a new feed stock and divert the standard crude to gasoline.
I wonder if feedstock uses will require so much inputs (heat/water) to get them ready for use. I am sure DOW would love to be paying $65/barrel equilivant and secure in the knowledge that Iran cant hurt them. Isnt oil shale just an oil field that is only a few million years underaged?
