World Oil Shortages Would Center on Liquid Fuels

This may be the best story of the day. I will comment on it later as I get caught up with being away from the blog for about 24 hours.

This is a news story reporting from an October 7, 2010, Capitol Hill forum (whatever that is). But this is the point: in yet another nationwide news story, the Bakken is mentioned about halfway down.

Two quick points:

a) another shot at the ridiculousness of thinking that wind energy is going to be the answer; and,
b) the need for continued use of coal and nuclear as well as natural gas.
