Nasa has developed thousands of technologies that account for most manufactured goods today, and it's all benefited the private market.
It takes a special kind of stupid to believe that.

Your quoted article references "turning shale into oil". The shale liquids and gasses that this thread addresses are entirely different, as are their strata.
Exactly. The oil or natural gas is extracted from the shale. The strata occur in the lithology and the composition varies as you drill through the formation to reach TD.
We may have two different topics going on here. We are referring to oil and gas that is released from shale, not extracted from it. There's a difference.
Damnit!
(just thought I'd throw that in... Saturday night and all )
Federal property = Protected property.
But the left isn't using our resources wisely. They're keeping us dependent on foreign oil while they push failed, inefficient, and unworkable alternatives that won't replace what they seek to ban.no, that is called rationing the food in my pantry and using it wisely so my kids and grand kids have something to eat later on <3
find a way to do it so it doesnt kill everything around it and you will have the left on board with it.
Short-sighted.
well then, put an oil well in your back yard and lets see you put up or shut up.

I guess you're stupid. As nasa is one of the most innovative part of our entire country...Within the modern era when all powerful nations(ESA, China, Japan, India, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, Russia, etc) have something similar to it it's a necessary part of being a power.
You want to talk about worthless? Look at the war in Afighastan or Iraq. Now that is a pit from hell.
Obamination wants higher energy costs so Americans will quit using so much of the world's resources....because we are so-called greedy bastards that are polluting the planet. That is why he is blocking oil, shale, etc exploration despite lying about it on the campaign trail.
An Obama voter has no room to call anyone else "duped".These fucking ignorant right wingers and their stupid Breitbart. Don't you guys know when you're being "duped"? Guess not.

Didn't read the full exchange. I've got about three different subjects going on within the same topic!
Democrats want us to be energy independent, but refuse to allow us to exploit our own resources.
there is more than enough not on federal lands.
This x100
Lets evaluate the size of an acre.
the area of an acre is exactly 43,560 square feet, or almost as big as a football field. (Key word: Almost)
This does not reasonably constitute justified anger.
What about drilling offshore?
Private property?
Alaska?
Building PRIVATE pipelines?
Also, what about pushing for green technology breakthroughs that is given free licensing for any private manufacturing companies to invest in and take advantage of as long as it's manufactured in the US and they follow a maximum profit precentage?
That helps the private sector alot, keeps costs down, and helps give the green energy initiative a kick in the ass.
How many birds would you kill with one stone, again?
Wonder why we are not hearing reports about "wind" energy being used in NYC and New Jersey? How do you think solar panels and wind turbines fared during Sandy?
Do you think any of those people that are worried about freezing to death, care, where their energy is coming from, today?
Its just not profitable. If it were, companies would line up. The govt even tried to subsidize wind and solar and it still failed. The energy isnt concentrated. Wind and solar is supplemental at best right now.
Government tried to subsidize existing technologies with a high cost manufacturing process.
I'm saying have NASA develop an efficient solar cell (multiple solar cells = solar panel) thats very cheap to make, and then have private companies line up to subsidize it free of licensing as long as it's made in the US.

Exploit NASA and legal licensing to help the private sector of the economy.
If NASA can build technologies that can get man on the moon, help man live in space on the ISS, and send rc vehicles to MARS and other planets, then we can sure as damn well develop a cheap and efficient solar panel.
This administration has turned NASA into a muslim outreach center, and science is not important in islam.
You're bitching about the wrong people.Democrats want us to be energy independent, but refuse to allow us to exploit our own resources.
Actually I am all in favor of Americans having National Oil amd paying $2.00 a gallon for gas and being indpendent, bit cons want to pay $6. a gallon to corporate big oil.
'we' are the people who believe in things like...science ...'shithead'
if the geeks were right about the polls and math..imagine if they are right about science too
You believe in science? Prove it by showing me the scientific grounds for denying developing oil shale.

You don't even believe in logic, let alone science, douche nozzle.

exploit being the operative word..
there it is..
we do not want our natural resources exploited..we want them protected and viable for our next generations to be able to use responsibly. sustainably and environmentally safe.
shale oil is none of those things.
Obama Shuts Down 1.6M Acres to Oil Shale Development
Just two days after President Obamas re-election, the Obama Interior Department announced a plan to shut down 1.6 million acres of federal land to oil shale development. The land had originally been slated for drilling under President George W. Bush.
So the higher gas prices are cometh .. And this WILL Be Obama's fault just like higher electricity and he has no fear about being re elected so he will do everything he can to destroy this country..
The Interior Department on Friday issued a final plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated for oil shale development.
The proposed plan would fence off a majority of the initial blueprint laid out in the final days of the George W. Bush administration.
Under the plan, 677,000 acres in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming would be open for oil shale exploration. Another 130,000 acres in Utah would be set aside for tar sands production.
The administration and Democrats said that while the plan would curtail what was originally sought for oil shale development, it still opens up a significant amount of land that was previously unavailable for the energy production method.
The administration noted the plan pushed forward Friday also included two research, development and demonstration (RD&D) leases for oil shale development.

We should spend millions upon millions in wind energy just for a storm that MIGHT happen once a year?
What about upkeep and flooding?
I have the idea that you aren't the brightest bulb in the box.
