Ed Quillen of the Rocky Mountain News isn’t much on drilling for oil or . He reaches his oversimplified conclusion with great delight…
The clear implication is that all you have to do is simply “drill” in oil-shale country and the oil will flow to the refineries and the gas pumps, when in reality there’s much more to it than mere drilling. The kerogen has to be extracted from the surrounding rock, liquefied and processed before it can be refined.
In other words, with “Drill here, drill now, pay less,” Gingrich has given us one of those “sound bites and commercials so short they can’t communicate anything complex.”
Of course Ed has certainly viewed right into mostly empty Republican mind. Perhas if Ed had a little more respect for the opinions of those on the other side
