Nobody said it was the same. The article below does show that A stretch of largely vacant federal lands in Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado may hold more recoverable oil than all the rest of the world put together. My point is also that Obama and the federal government are not allowing companies to produce on federal lands. The democrats are using these huge areas of lands more than a third of the U.S. land mostly for radical environmentalism(socialism/communism).As the article shows these lands are mostly vacant but they hold more oil than the rest of the world combined. Now this is just in this area of the West. that is not counting ANWR, off the coasts and even the Gulf of Mexico where they could allow even more leases than they are. the gov ran out most of the ranchers in Nevada, Bundy is the last one standing .and they burden all companies with crippling laws and regulations.

The Green River Formation — an assemblage of over 1,000 feet of sedimentary rocks that lie beneath parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming — contains the world's largest deposits of oil shale. USGS [U.S. Geological Survey] estimates that the Green River Formation contains about 3 trillion barrels of oil, and about half of this may be recoverable, depending on available technology and economic conditions.

The Rand Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, estimates that 30 to 60 percent of the oil shale in the Green River Formation can be recovered. At the midpoint of this estimate, almost half of the 3 trillion barrels of oil would be recoverable. This is an amount about equal to the entire world's proven oil reserves. ...

Poor Terry O’Sullivan. He actually trusted a Marxist. Ain’t it just a bitch when you think the Chief Communist in Charge doesn’t think YOUR socialist run union is just not worthy, oh say, like SEIU that gets anything on it’s wish list.

It isn’t oil.

It cannot be recovered at the same price as oil.

There has been more research and pilot projects since the Rand Study.

Shell is one of the best, they have spent decades trying to make it economical to produce.

Why don’t you actual read the Rand study? It has an excutive summary that is not that hard to understand.

Let me know if you need a link. I’ve posted it here on Free Republic several times over the years.

The votes of union workers are one reason he currently occupies the White House. So as far as I am concerned, they can cry, cry, cry.
