One more thing I neglected to mention. The "drilling" is going full bore right now. Sorry to those of you who always want to bring this back to politics but you should do some research first. The only thing the President hasn't agreed upon yet is the route for the pipeline from the Bakken to the refineries in Texas as you have many people in the states in between saying "not in my backyard" similar to what took place in Alaska. Thus the oil is currently being trucked out of the Bakken. Sidenote: those of you who are unemployed and able to move head North. These companies are hiring like crazy and paying exceptional wages. As a matter of fact it's created such a boom that they've litteraly had to bring FEMA trailers in to house the boom of workers coming in. By the way the experts are saying there is so much oil there they'll be drilling and fracking for at least 10 years at the same rampant pace. I have many clients in the area a I provide business finance in particular to oil companies....This place is hot!!!!
