June 23, 2006 -- The National Oil Shale Association (NOSA) is pleased that the President has identified America’s oil shale resources as an important part of the solution to our nation’s energy supply challenges.

America’s more than 2 trillion barrels of oil shale resources are a secure domestic resource that can be developed in an environmentally responsible manner to increase domestic transportation fuel supplies and reduce America’s oil imports.  Developing this resource is seen as important to the nation’s economic and national security.

NOSA is pleased to provide information about oil shale resources, technologies, development challenges and issues. Our website www.oilshaleassoc.org   provides fact sheets and basic information about our nation’s oil shale resources.  It also provides links to other relevant resources prepared by:

 The Task Force on Strategic Unconventional Fuels www.unconventionalfuels.org
 The U.S. Department of Energy:
 The Department of the Interior:
 Oil shale companies and oil shale RD&D lease holders

NOSA is an organization of concerned resource owners, technology developers, energy producers, industry analysts and members of the public.  

NOSA’s mission is to provide the public with objective and factual information about oil shale resources, technologies, development challenges, and potential solutions.  NOSA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) educational organization. It does not engage in lobbying activity.
