Re: Oil Shale Resources - Alternative for Gasoline

["Retro Ralph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep,  I suppose most do know about the abundance of resources in Canada.
If they would just put it on the market for reasonable then we could talk a
little rougher to those middle east suppliers about the price of gas.
Canadians don't seem to waiver in our winds very much.  Maybe they will
share some of it later on when they can make a "good" profit on it.

Once there are too many competing sources for motor fuel then is when we may
see reasonable prices again brought about by the free markets and not
affected so much by big greed and the controlling cartels or the major oil
producers.  Too many major mergers and "big business" marketing and
distribution controlling practices have been allowed by our government and
regulators to the extent we seem to only have "cooperative competition"
between our oil companies.  Of course they don't have the consumers best
interest at heart.

Maybe we can regulate this as public utilities or perhaps even Nationalize
the industry.  Some countries do that with effectiveness seeming to protect
their own.

In the meanwhile, protect your manure piles (and your upwind real estate).
Or maybe just skim some of that stuff off the Chicago River that used to
catch on fire occasionally.

Heck, there wil always be some solution...
