[QUOTE="S KRX, post: 845611, member: 67366"] Extracting oil from shale deposits is very expensive, and was only economically viable when gas prices were high. Oil shale operations in Utah and Texas are in danger of shutting down because its no longer cost effective with the current low gas prices. Plus, several of the proposed oil leases in Utah were granted by the Bureau of Land Management in DIRECT violation of a written agreement with the National Park Service. They would have likely resulted in oil rigs being visible from some of the most scenic areas in Arches National Park and Dinosaur National Monument. Even conservatives want to see natural scenery, rather than oil rigs when they visit our National Parks. There are plenty of links out there for this information, I'm not going to waste time digging them up. [/QUOTE]
