A Human Interest Story On The Bakken Boom And Bust -- The Chicago Tribune -- February 19, 2016

For the archives, from The Chicago Tribune -- a human interest story on the Bakken boom and bust.

Many, many story lines. In the big scheme of things it probably would not have made much difference but killing the Keystone XL and delaying other interstate pipelines probably didn't help much, either.

And in the big scheme of things, I am very, very optimistic about the Bakken. Five more permits issued today. Upwards of 1,000 wells that have been drilled and waiting to be fracked.

There will be winners and losers.
