How to gain american independence from foriegn domination of petrol real science here no mumbo jumbo

I think this is more suited for political scandals since the whole administration is from the oil related industries, and the prices of oil have done nothing but go up with record profits, short sighted maybe but 100% something fishy is going on at the people and planets expense.

I came across this article and the details it gives is very convincing, so as an american i say lets get the F out of Iraq along with the middle east as a whole, and put our resources and efforts into utilizing this method till we have made the TRUE technological advancements to move onto other forms of resource manipulation.

Shell's method, which it calls "in situ conversion," is simplicity itself in concept but exquisitely ingenious in execution. Terry O'Connor, a vice president for external and regulatory affairs at Shell Exploration and Production, explained how it's done (and they have done it, in several test projects):

Drill shafts into the oil-bearing rock. Drop heaters down the shaft. Cook the rock until the hydrocarbons boil off, the lightest and most desirable first. Collect them.

While we were trying to do the math, O'Connor told us the answers. Upwards of a million barrels an acre, a billion barrels a square mile. And the oil shale formation in the Green River Basin, most of which is in Colorado, covers more than a thousand square miles - the largest fossil fuel deposits in the world

here is the whole articles link American independence

The beauty of this article is how it addresses the various problems and their solutions that could arise, as well as the detailed numbers of the project.

Now we have no reason to worry about the middle east so let them keep themselves in the dark ages and the western world progress. (I am an immigrant from Iran moved here when i was 3 am now 24, not muslim, reason why parents left the country right b4 the revolution).
So this article shows how america can become safer and more/completly independent from middle east oil, our only reason to be there now is because Bush and company are war mongorers and profiteers.

Actually it's better to use up their oil first.

What will Saudi Arabia be once the oil runs out?
