Mass transit is a joke and impossible in most of the US. It works on in vertical cities. The cost of obtaining gas and oil has dropped drastically due to new technologies. It is getting cheaper to obtain except for the massive new permitting processes. The cost of natural gas has dropped 70% since fracking and horizontal drilling have been perfected.
If this is true, then why did they even bother to make it off limits? Shell Oil has developed an experimental steam method to obtain shale oil that has a breakeven point of $70/bbl. High pressure fracking can also obtain with droplets over about 10 microns due to high pressures found at that levels. (The steam method is for near surface deposits.) Remember, this isn't about the science, but about making fossil fuels so expensive even the most inefficient alternatives can compete. If they were regally interested in the grouse, they wouldn't allow wind and solar as they hurt the environment more. Even the dipstick can grasp that.
This oil shale under Colorado does not have any liquid oil
