The Bakken may give the United States -- the world's biggest importer of oil -- a new domestic energy source.Not if Harry and Nancy have anything to do with it.

There is no way the Dakota fields will ever yield what we require daily. The estimate of total oil is very much exaggerated in the article. The recovery rate is less than 3% of about 200 billion in potential biomass. Also, the area mentioned is in the Newtown area, which is the thickest part of the entire field (Williston Basin) and is not a good example of the overall fields potential.
Harry? Harry, is that you?

That much money not going to OPEC sounds good to me. Every dollar that stays here helps us.

Well, we tap the Bakken and whatever else is legal and force Congress to open up offshore and ANWR. 150,000 bpd here, a million there, and so on, and pretty soon, you’re talkin’ real oil.

I haven’t seen one of those bumper stickers in a while. I never understood who considered oilfield hands “trash”. They always made pretty good money compared to most other working men, and they certainly earned their pay.
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
There’s also “Oilfield Trash And Proud Of It”.
To: ozzymandus
Back in the late 50’s and 60’s some people looked down their noses at those folks who moved from one oil field to another.
Actually being dubbed “Oil Field Trash” was sort of a badge of honor.
Sort of like when I was a Freshman and a self respecting cowboy in college and had “GDI” (Gawd Dang Independent)plastered on my textbooks letting the world know that this cat wasn't a sand dipping, ice cream britches wearing Frat Rat.

I didnt want her to know I was oilfield trash. Better than being a Democrat.
To: RightWingTeen
I just want to be able to drive around with a bumper sticker that says:
“Don’t blame me for the crap this country is in I voted for Ron Paul ‘08!”

That would be the current crop of pantie waisted cowardly run and hide Democrats led by the stupidest leaders in the history of America in Nancy Peloser and Hairless Read.

But this bunch is dead set against domestic drilling, and they sure don't want a farmer making money off of oil. They will tax North Dakotans as much as they can.

Incredibly nice. Clean, very low crime rate, like-minded family-oriented people, for the most part...but expensive with a capital “E.” Three bedrooms on a postage stamp will set you back $350,000-$400,000 and rent on a two bedroom apt. is about $1100-$1500/mo...It’s a “boom-town.”
Lots to do, with the mountains and a lot of lakes close by. Some of the best whitetail and muley hunting anywhere in North America...I miss it a great deal - I live in the socialist paradise of Ontario now, unfortunately.
