So your saying infrastructure cost for conventional oil is lower for heavy tar sands oil than conventional oil?

That is an interesting suggestion. The oil shale and sands are within the boundaries of the country and would not have the military overhead that the ME does. I don't have a number for the total real cost of oil counting everything, but the extra cost of producing from oil shale and sand would be compensated some by less military cost.
