73. Shale oil? Talk about an addict looking for crack rocks in the couch cushions
Shale oil is scraping the bottom of the barrel wrt oil production.

The amount of money required to move our energy grid to renewables is measured in TRILLIONS of dollars. The money we'd get back from Bakken oil shales isn't even close to enough to make a dent in solar installation, but the amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere WOULD be enough to make a dent in things like a stable climate, ocean acidity, ice cap coverage, etc.
