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.
