Climaticoanalysis.org reports that the Obama Admin has 180'd on oil shale. Sort of...
President Obama, in close discussions with Energy Secretary Stephen Chu and Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach is to give the green light for US consumption of oil sand oil, or rather the import of fuels considered among the "dirtiest" in the fuel market. In a meeting last week, President Obama decided that the Canada's oil sands represented an important part of national security supplies for petroleum in America's near future.
We get along pretty well with the Great White North. But wouldn't tapping US supplies be better for national security?
See there? You are thinking LOGICALLY again. Stop it! :-D
