NOSA ADVOCATED RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF OIL SHALE

• In today's world of rising gasoline prices and peaking oil
  production, oil shale is an extremely important resource for our energy and national security. It is one of the few domestic energy sources that can reduce dependence on foreign oil supplies.
  
  
• Our cars, trucks and planes run on liquid fuels made from petroleum,
  and the only viable domestic substitutes for these fuels come from oil shale, oil sands, biofuels and coal. 
  
  
• Oil Shale is found in many places in the world but the largest
  deposits are found in the United States. The three states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming contain an amount of shale oil that is comparable with the conventional oil reserves in the Middle East.
  
  
• Therefore the National Oil Shale Association seeks your support for
  a national strategy that encourages the responsible development of oil shale and other unconventional fuels.
