Back in Parachute, the townspeople are mindful of history, the mayor says, adding that he is concerned about another oil shale boom and bust cycle. "Is there a split in town? Pretty badly," says McClung, who won his mayoral seat as a registered independent in 2006. "It's amazing how small issues, like the moratorium, can become such a big focal point. But it's going to be a very hot-button issue."

Comment: Im tired of the environmentalists complaining about oil production. The environmentalists can NOT solve any energy problem, they only complain, what good are they and why do we care about what they have to say?

Comment: Everyone take note from T Boone Pickens website addressing America's need for alternative energy sources.
Boone's a genius and oil man that is really concerned about change -- not oil profits. Check it out:

Comment: The answer is NOT MORE WAS TO GET OIL.
The answer is getting Americans off our dependency for oil altogether.
Of course, big business (like Exxon, BP, et al and Detroit) don't want that. It would cost them billions to retool their businesses.
We dropped the ball after the first OPEC mess back in the Carter Administration and looks like we're headed for a repeat performance of shallow attempts at alternative energy and transportation sources until OPEC and big oil drop their prices again.
Then, we'll be right back to buying Hummers and monster trucks.
When will we ever learn that we must make consistent efforts to ween ourselves from this oil habit.
