What ever happened to that area in the Dakotas (I forget if it was North or South) that had expansive fields of some "oil-shale" or something like that?
I remember seeing something about it awhile ago, and some article mentioned that the technology needed to be able to get the oil out of the rock was almost to the point it could be taken bigtime. I can't recall any specific numbers, but some projections were that if drilled, the area could give a huge boost to domestic oil production.
