His Bakken Oil Frack Field wants wants wants it sooo badly.
Truth is the pure amber oil from the Bakken will be mixed with the Tar Sands sludge to thin it enough to push it through the pipeline.
Hoeven's Bakken & the Koch's & Trans Canada will profit at the North end while Texas will profit in the refining south end of this toxic aquifer polluting boondoggle.
Senator Markey stands by, also on Tweety show, & Stands Up For renewable energy & the good of the country & its future.
Kudos to Markey.

(9,148 posts)Grew up there & left long ago. The western 1/4 of the State is a hell hole.
They have given it all away for greed.
I am sure the rest of the State has been long forgotten unless an oil tanker blows up as its hauling ass outta there.
They have eagerly & thoughtlessly destroyed what generations before them cared so dearly for.
Makes me sick. It will never again be as I remember it.
Am glad I am not there to watch the place rot from greed.
I have my memories of what a beautiful land it once was.
Peace Odin2005

As the old Native saying goes, we will eventually discover to our shock that we can't eat money. The Land is the basis of all wealth, without which nothing else is possible. Everyone has to eat.

They can never have it back.
Fools they are.
