"...Congressman Mark Udall (D-CO), a hard line environmental extremist and anti-energy Democrat (and the author in the House of the ban on developing oil shale, a resource proven to have three times more oil than Saudi Arabia)..."

Is this true? If so, is developing oil from shale a lot more costly than what we're paying for oil right now? If it isn't, is the reason we're not getting oil from shale due to enviro-wacko reasons? If so, shouldn't we be marching on DC with torches and pitchforks, and rope?
