How expensive ?  Oil Tech claims they can produce a "shale crude" for
$10-$20/barrel...  sounds pretty good compared to $50/barrel for Arabian oil

Pumped ?  My understanding was that oil shale had to be mined ... that it's
about like the kitty litter you sweep up from the shop floor as far as oil
content.
