Two New Permits -- September 10, 2019

I was complimenting my wife on how smart she was earlier this evening. I asked her if she was naturally smart, or if she learned a lot from me. She's still laughing. 

The Illinois rail spill earlier today apparently did not involve Bakken crude oil:

In a news release, Union Pacific said the train derailed at its yard at about 12:45 p.m. Initial information said the tank car that first caught fire contained a liquid called methyl isobutyl ketone, which is typically used as a solvent.

Thank goodness it wasn't that highly volatile Bakken crude oil.
