Oil Shale Resources - Alternative for Gasoline

I was thinking I was the only one remembering anything about our oil shale
alternative.  Apparently, this was talked about plenty after the gasoline
crisis of  1973 & later.   It looks like I wasn't the only one who remember
the stuff as it is all over the web now, per a quick Google search.

It presents the same ecological problems as using petroleum but the good
news is that it does become cost competitve at around $2.00 per gallon, or
at $40 per barrel for crude.  More good news is that much of it is in
Colorado area  (and much in Estonia, Russia, China, and many others).
