Construction Materials Scarce in Western North Dakota -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.

The "headline" says it all, even if the link breaks. (By the way: this is not a new story; there's been a shortage of supplies for the  past year.)

But does this make sense? The entire rest of the nation is still in a recession according to many. Are "they" saying that the US commodities and housing supply industry can't even keep up with seventeen counties in practically the least populated state in the union. Something clearly doesn't make sense.

Unless, of course, the Bakken is bigger than the rest of the nation realizes.

We will see on October 31, 2011, when Brian Williams showcases the Bakken on the debut of his new evening television news magazine.
