Interesting comments from Jones, Richard, and Ron. I would certainly agree with the claim that The Kiplinger Letter is "pro-business." I'm sure their main clientele is the Business owner (of both large and small operations) trying to figure out what the hell Washington is going to do next, and how best to deal with the consequences.
Granted, this North Dakota claim may be nothing more than a game of political smoke and mirrors strategically brought forth in the midst of the political election season. However, if in the following months when perhaps a bit more information is put out into the public domain, and if in those reports it appears to be technologically possible to economically extract sufficient quantities of crude from the Williston Basin (at, say, $100/pb) I can only hope that we put the borrowed time it gives us to good use. If oil corporations are now banking on the price of oil remaining at current prices, hopefully the strategy will indirectly help grow and mature a plethora of AE technologies to the point that some of them will actually become cheaper to invest in. Maybe we can finally get our s__t together. ...in 20 years, you think???? One can hope. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
