It's interesting that no one -- literally no one -- even mentions the "fact" that the Russians "stole" the election from Hillary as a "top story" of 2016. I suppose it's because anyone paying attention already knew back in 2013 that the Russians were capable of asymmetrical warfare (e.g. cyberwar). The WSJ has the story. My hunch: the president missed that intelligence briefing. [By the way, this is another binary factoid: either the US intelligence network (all 17 agencies according to Hillary) knew about Russia's action before the election but failed to act; or, the US intelligence network was not aware of Russia's cyber attack until after the election. I suppose there is a third possibility: President Obama was told but wanted to see how this would all play out, knowing, in his own words, that Hillary would win anyway.]

2017 should be recognized as the 10th year anniversary of the Bakken boom. The boom began with an EOG well in the Parshall oil field in 2006, but I've always "felt" the boom began in 2007. The second "confirmatory" well was perforated/fracked/completed in March, 2007.
History of the early Bakken: 2004 - 2006.
Brief history of oil production from the Bakken.
Sure bet: new all-time snowfall record will be set, winter, 2016 - 2017. Bismarck only needs 2 inches to beat all-time record. Forecast today for Bismarck: 7.5 inches. Williston, almost 7".

This was the first hit: energy trends.
#1: Donald Trump wins presidency (this was also my first choice)It looks like oilprice.com has not yet posted its top ten list for 2016.
#2: OPEC agrees to production cuts (at top of my list also)
#3: DAPL: ditto
#4: coal bankruptcies -- I did not mention coal at all on my long list
#5: oil and natural gas prices bottomed: premature, but probably accurate;
