The trouble is getting it out will be by the scorched earth approach.

Not so. Newly developed technology does not require strip mining of
the shale. It can be done underground and in place.

?The technical groundwork may be in place for a fundamental shift in
oil shale economics,? the Rand Corporation recently declared.
?Advances in thermally conductive in-situ conversion may enable
shale-derived oil to be competitive with crude oil at prices below $40
per barrel. If this becomes the case, oil shale development may soon
occupy a very prominent position in the national energy agenda.?

Sounds like fracking for natural gas, which is NOT without it's quite
heavy impact on the environment.
