High fuel prices: shale is the answer

Ronnie Reagan put a stop to alternative energy research back in 1980. The Western slope of Colorado was all set to go with the oil shale thing back then when the plug got pulled. I have camped in spots on the Uncomphaghre Plateau where I could literally set the rocks on fire because of the amount of oil shale present. The problem is that a very beautiful part of our country would be ecologically devastated, but its only a matter of time IMO. Refineries could be built in either Denver or Grand Junction.
