We have over a trillion barrels of oil locked up in shale rock on government land. What is that worth.

At today's prices - 70 trillion dollars. Hell, that even leaves a little money left for reparations...

The U.S. government would have to capture all that oil value without any costs. I.e., it would have to do the production and distribution, etc.

The Federal Government is generally not known for such total efficiency as its forte'.
