Active Rigs In North Dakota Jump To 66 -- January 10, 2019

The refinery near the park: one step closer -- the administrative judge recommends issuing a "water permit." Non-binding but the regulators, not wanting to be second guessed, asked an administrative judge to weigh in on the request. The judge, said, "Sure, go for it. It's just one of a dozen permits that they will need. Faux environmentalists will have endless opportunities to stop this refinery. So, what the heck. Issue the water permit. Whatever." I was paraphrasing. LOL.
