To me, it seems absolutely absurd that we would have a gas shortage in ND and should certainly be part of the political landscape. Then there is wind energy.... even though we have the most wind potential in our country, we are already being counted out of many discussions because of our poor policies. US 20% Wind energy by 2030 according to DOE.... not us. By the transmission planning I see at the DOE, North Dakota is going to be a county road on the transmission super highway. Oil, Coal & Wind are ALL important to ND and we could be on the cusp of being the major player in US energy. Did you know that North Dakota has enough wind energy potential to supply 20% of the entire nations wind energy needs? Think of the potential for North Dakota.

Hoeven will get around to it when he sees the pressure and we will have lost a billion dollars in the process.
