Likely more than a few birthers.
mining towns are horse , with all that salary etc, ppl must take into equation living standards and cost of living of living up there...rent is the biggest budget killer...
usa only importing half....lol when was iraq a state of the usa?
Lol -- we import most of our oil from Canada and Mexico.
I heard about how people are miserable there.
It's freaking cold and miserable.... but on the bright side....Darrin finally admitted that the economy is growing......stimulus - it works!
Rent, shment. Easy to own. , get it shipped there.
Top 5 crude sources in order:
CANADA
SAUDI ARABIA
MEXICO
VENEZUELA
NIGERIA
IRAQ

Canada and Mexico together do not comprise "most" of our oil (36%). To break the 50% mark you have to add Saudi and Venezualan oil. Together the first four comprise 58% of our crude imports.
Total petroleum imports roughly correspond to the crude figures, with a bit more weighting given to Canada.
I stand corrected. Would you agree that we get more oil from non-OPEC countries and that we get far more oil from Canada than we do Iraq?
Yup. I would say that is accurate.
Canada looks to provide even more once some infrastructure projects come online to get the tar sands oil down here.
Those sources of oil have become much more profitable with the recent natural gas boom.
Still not quite the bonanza that the guys selling the projects perenially claim, but better.
I am not sure how much more ecological damage Canada will tolerate to get at those sand oils, and that is a big factor in the ultimate amount/rate of oil extracted.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/22/us/dak...eline-arrests/The Morton County Sheriff's Department said 300 protesters trespassed on private property and "engaged in escalated unlawful tactics and behavior" at a spot three miles west of State Highway 1806, along the pipeline right-of-way.
same company is building the TPL pipeline in West Texas:

http://www.desmogblog.com/2016/10/27...out-state-copsAlmost exactly 20 years ago, President Bill Clinton signed into law a bill creating an interstate agreement for emergency management. That incon uous law has opened the door for the current flood of out-of-state law enforcement agents present at the continuing protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in North Dakota
weird stuff. odd that this isn't getting more coverage.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b064e1b4b28f41The man who North Dakota authorities had said was shot by Dakota Access Pipeline protesters was actually an armed instigator linked to the pipeline company, Standing Rock Sioux tribe members said Friday.
The sheriff’s office, which said Thursday the man was shot in one of two incidents involving gunfire during tumultuous protests against the pipeline, backpedaled on Friday and said the man wasn’t shot.
The conflicting new claims called into question accounts of Thursday’s chaotic demonstration, in which 142 people were arrested as police in riot gear removed protesters from an encampment blocking the pipeline’s path.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe claimed Friday that the supposed shooting victim drove a truck through a highway barricade set up by protesters, who gave chase and forced him off the road. He then got out of the vehicle and “fired several shots from his assault rifle,” the tribe said in a statement posted to Facebook.
Bureau of Indian Affairs agents detained the man, whose name has not been released, and turned him over to the FBI, according to BIA spokeswoman Nedra Darling. The FBI did not respond to The Huffington Post’s inquiries.
Do ents found in the man’s Chevy Silverado pickup suggest he was a Dakota Access Pipeline security guard in a company-owned truck, the Standing Rock Sioux statement said. The tribe posted photos of insurance papers linking the vehicle to the pipeline. Mother Jones reported there was an employee ID badge in the pickup. Protesters later set the vehicle on fire, according to Mother Jones.
Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier on Friday said the man, a contractor providing security, was indeed armed, but “that was more or less in self defense.” The man fired no shots, Kirchmeier said during a press conference, and was not wounded by gunfire.
Terrible comparison trying to equate the two.
Malhuer
peaceful despite 7 FBI informants inside, some actively involved in takeover. FBI shoots and kills protester, lies and tries to cover up.
North Dakota
not peaceful. Protester shoots at law enforcement.
And I support both parties protests, but this letter to the editor is just stupid.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. I thought you'd like the pro-gun angle.
Had nothing to do with guns. One protest was peaceful and one wasn't. And I feel for the Dakota protesters more.
Trump and his key advisors stand to profit from the Dakota Access Pipeline
- Trump has personally invested between $500,000 and $1 million in Energy Transfer Partners — the very same company that’s constructing the pipeline.
- Trump has an additional $500,000 to $1 million holding in Phillips 66, which would have a 25 percent stake in the completed Dakota Access project.
- Energy Transfer Partners Chief Executive Kelcy Warren donated $103,000 toward Trump’s campaign and a further $66,800 to the Republican National Committee after he became the party nominee.
- Harold Hamm, a top Trump campaign advisor and leading candidate for energy secretary, is the CEO of Continental Resources, whose oil would be carried through the Dakota Access Pipeline.
- John Paulson, another campaign advisor, is heavily invested in the Bakken oil and gas industry. And that’s just the start for fossil fuel connections on Trump’s team.
The day following Trump’s victory, the stock value of Energy Transfer’s parent company surged 15 percent as the pipeline’s future went from uncertain to a sure bet. The project was 84 percent complete as of Thursday and could be green-lighted by Obama even before Trump’s inauguration.

holy !!!! Trump has a whole $2,000,000 invested??!??! He must own like half of Phillips and Energy Transfer Partners. Thank god the pipeline will be built or those companies would have gone bankrupt.
btw, the reason the pipeline Sky People moved the pipeline away from Bismarck and into Indian sacred grounds was that they feared the pipeline would pollute Bismarck's water.
The pipeline doesn't cross tribal land. There are already 8 other pipelines that cross the river.
