This programmatic statement examines five development policy options and eight liquid fuel alternatives, one of which is oil shale on NOSR 1. The other seven are oil shale on other lands, conservation, enhanced oil recovery, offshore oil production, coal liquefaction, biomass/alcohol and "no action at this time." The document compares the environmental impacts of two levels of production from NOSR 1 to those of an equivalent production from other liquid fuel sources. The socioeconomic and financial impacts of the five development policy options, which range from zero to 100% government participation, are also evaluated.
