Perhaps the most dreaded phrase in oil shale development is EROI.

Essentially, this is a measure of the energy necessary to produce a specific amount of energy. Oil produced in the 1930s, for example, had a ratio of 100:1. Today, the EROI of conventional oil is about 20:1.

The ratio for oil shale(NOT the same as shale oil), on the other hand, is less than 2:1.

anybody have a clue on AIOFF EROI??
