"Our country runs off oil shale" I'm deducing by the link that we are referring to Estonia.
Canada also extracts oil from shale its a messy job as all the oil has to be steamed out of the shale, a process that uses a huge amount of fresh water which has to be treated before it can be returned back to the environment.
