it takes 100 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of oil that sux thats alot of polluted water and where the hell are they going to get all that water well they could drain lake mead and the great lakes where would that leave us shale is a waste of time get away from fosil fuels i would think u would get more energy from a fart in the wind than waste all the water and electricity that it will take to get the oil out of the rock and have billions of gallons of polluted water sit in tailing ponds

first comment, f yeah! shales are a uneconomic. Tar sands rock. If my business slows down a little more, i just might go work in the tar sands. peace out.
