Climate lawsuits against Big Oil? Poor track record. Bloomberg. Labeled a "news" article but reads like an op-ed suggesting this won't go on forever. At some point Big Oil will pay according to Erik Larson.

RBN Energy: increasing Bakken gas flows into the Northern Border pipeline. Archived.

The rapid increase of natural gas processing capacity in the Bakken in recent months has helped to ease producers’ growing pains, clearing the way for more crude oil and associated gas to be produced there and more Bakken gas to flow into the Midwest. That good news is countered, however, by bad news for Western Canadian gas producers, whose long-standing pipeline takeaway constraints only worsen as more Bakken gas flows into the Northern Border pipeline that cuts through North Dakota on its way to Chicago and other downstream markets.

Today, we continue our series on the fight between Bakken and Western Canadian producers for space on Northern Border with a look at incremental flows into that key pipe.
