Stop subsidizing it

I will just chime in and remind my environmentalist/liberal friends that if you want to stop oil shale, then just stop subsidizing it.

Oil shale is quite expensive to extract. Without government assistance -- such as that advocated by your friend Democrat representative Jim Matheson -- attempts to develop the resource will go nowhere, at least until gas and oil get far more expensive than they are today.

We have a supply and demand economy. Everytime we use a oil product, we are demanding that it be produced. If you don't want oil produced don't use it, problem solved. Of course you will probably be quite dead soon.

i think that it is not right that gas prices still are high in utah but the oil price has dropped
