I can assure you, if you want to invest $100B so you can become a trillionaire from producing oil from the oil shales, you will find no one blocking your way spending your $100B. Hey, if you want to invest just $100M so you can get rich from the oil shales, you will find no obstacles to making that investment, with plenty of registered Democrats happily taking, er investing, your money.

However, you would make more money building wind farms and solar thermal power plants.
