There is actually no oil in the oil shales of Colorado. What is there is kerogen embedded in marlstone, a precursor to oil. The kerogen must be heated to more than 750 degrees F to convert it into oil because it was never buried deeply enough to have the heat and pressure to convert the kerogen into oil in the first place.
You can read and learn all about it from the Colorado Geological Survey here.
750 degrees good grief who would give a care about it? Not this governemnt, not in the future of America. We will see more technologys in the next few years in energy then in the last several that were stagnated by the lack of leadership in the green world.
