 By an entirely not at all bizarre coincidence, our very own
 David Edney was recently witnessed asking the esteemed Richard
 Heinberg [1] about the potential of extracting energy from what is
 commonly referred to as 'shale oil'[2] (in an attempt to delay the

 The phrase 'about the same energy per unit of mass as a potato'
 cropped up in the response.

 Thus the universe balances itself.  (etc etc)
