Oil shale creates large amounts of waste water and solid wastes from processing, and is worse from a global warming perspective than regular oil. Additionally, it is likely that it will be a full 12 years before we have the technological knowledge needed to extract this resource in a manner that is safe and efficient, and even longer before we get the infrastructure put together to turn 'oil shale" into usable transportation fuels in a meaningful quantity.

I have three cats that I feed canned cat food. I believe this is preferable to dry food for their health. However, the cat food ends up costing almost as much as I spend on my own lunches each month. We're going through a case of food per week. At this rate, I'd be willing to buy a whole palette of food if it meant I could get a discount. Any ideas for how to do this? I can't find discounts on cat food anywhere, at least below what is offered at PetCo and other common retailers.
