How Renewable Landfill Energy Works: Caterpillar infomercial
fossil_oil
Offshore 1/3 U.S. oil, 13% of gas. Gasoline, diesel, kerosene.
fossil_sources
Bitumen oily, viscous: Venezuela, Alberta. Keystone XL tar sands
Shale in Bakken N.Dakota not as deep: pyrolysis baked w hydrogen -> liquid petroleum, or burned like coal.
Methane hydrate twice as much as big 3, but also tsunami Horizontal Shale Oil Drilling: fracking hype from Breitling
Tar sands controversy: Keystone XL pipeline
Tar sands pipeline spill risks (NRDC)
Time: Shale gas
ccs
sequestration -> liquified; secondary extraction???
