Inappropriately Enthusiastic

General (ret.) Wesley Clark, a former presidential candidate, sees North Dakota as the future energy capital of ..... North America.

These local links are often broken or only available in the future through a subscription (paid/free).

The article doesn't say anything particularly new, but this is what caught my attention these four data points:
Regarding wind, North Dakota went from an installed capacity of less than 5 megawatts in 2003 to 1,300 megawatts now.

There are more than 820 turbines operating in the state, which ranks 10th nationally in installed wind capacity.

North Dakota has five ethanol plants operating and produces more than 350 million gallons per year, a tenfold increase since 2005.

Discussing biomass, Christianson said the state ranks No. 1 in potential for energy crops. 
Kind of exciting.

Similar story here.  Likewise, I expect the link to be broken in a matter of days.
