North Dakota natural gas pipeline: I assume this has been previously posted but cannot find it because, apparently, this pipeline doesn't have a name yet. Maybe it does, I don't know. Frm KXNET online:

• from the Bakken to Minnesota state line;
• $150 million from North Dakota's ARPA funds as well as $150 million from federal government;
• along US Highway 2, from Williston, to Grand Forks, and then south to Fargot
• the Bakken’s two major export pipelines, Northern Border and Alliance, go through Minnesota, Iowa, and to the Chicago market. ND Economic Development and Finance Director Josh Teigen explains that because Iowa has a greater existing pipeline infrastructure, the state holds a competitive advantage over ND.
• that was November 1, 2021; apparently North Dakota landed the pipeline but the story is a bit confusing;
• for now, let's call this the X-North Dakota natural gas pipeline;  behind a paywall at Informum;

Weekly Covid-19 vaccine rollout data: link here.
