Warning, Oil shale developent regulations on the way

Ed Quillen of the Denver Post, beware, one of your worst nightmares is about to come true. Of course I’m sure your friends, the enviro-wacko’s, can delay it until the lights go off.

The U.S. Interior Department said on Monday it will propose regulations on Tuesday to establish a commercial oil shale program that could result in up to 800 million barrels of recoverable oil on public lands in western United States.

The bad new for Ed is…

Congress temporarily blocked oil shale development in the Midwest due to concerns from environmentalists that oil shale production consumes large amounts of water and power, both of which are scarce in the West.

And yes, those ARE legitimate issues.
