This is comment on Proposed Rule

Oil Shale Management--General

View Comment

Please incorporate my comments in the body of this letter for the public record concerning the proposed oil shale regulations. I support Congress’ directive to see that oil shell is developed, because it is such a huge domestic resource. The Rand Corporation Study found that there is TRIPLE the volume of oil shale in the United States than Saudi Arabia has. If we were to unlock that energy, it could be a huge step to relieve their strangle-hold on us and help increase America’s energy security! After reviewing the proposal, I believe that all of the proposed royalty rates are much too high. It is important that in following Congress’ directive, we not only see that oil shell is developed, but make sure that we foster a new oil shale industry. The high proposed royalty rates would fail. Thank you for entering my comments into the record. Please do your part to help America’s energy security by releasing these regulations as soon as possible so that we can begin better preparing for our future.
