You ought to see the one they wrote up for shale oil.  They REALLY
twisted that story.  Once I researched it it turned out that a quote
from a guy backing it up  (out of context of course) and in reality the
guy thought it wasn't a good fuel at all.  They quoted him as calling
it a National Treasure, when I looked it up it turned out he meant the
nature part of the area was a national treasure, NOT the shale oil -
which really isn't oil but kerosan or something - it's a poor fuel
which uses a lot of energy to get some out.  I can't see how it can be
a net gain.  I don't know if with high oil prices that will turn out to
be a viable thing or not, but I was really angry that they did what
they did in that sales pitch.  Now Canadian oil  sands are a different
story altogether.....
