Autonomous Tractor -- Too Good Not To Post

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Bakken -- though the "general issue" has something in common with the Bakken -- but more on that later.

Don sent this to me. It really is quite incredible. From a technological point of view it's probably not that amazing, but, nonetheless, the video is compelling.

The cost of paying a tractor/truck driver can be expensive, but in the Bakken, the problem is not lack of money, it's lack of drivers.

In the ObamaCliff bill there was a provision extending an existing tax break for investment in equipment up to $500,000. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put this all together.

Wow, what a great opportunity. What a great country.
