I Thought This Guy Died Years Ago?

Ralph Nader (courtesy, CBS News)

I hope I don't lose any friends over this but I honestly thought old Ralph passed away a long time ago. Apparently not. So what's got him so wound up now? It's not another falsified claim of a vehicle being unsafe at any speed but it is about a moving vehicle. Trains loaded with North Dakota crude oil. ND crude from the Bakken oil field is known as "sweet crude" because it needs much less refining than most oils, it's darn near ready to go!

I am interested in seeing how this plays out. Here you have an old paper tiger who's only claim to fame is that he destroyed an automobile many American's loved by lying about that automobiles safety. He is "railing" against ND oil being transported by railroad and yet I'm sure he is also very anti-keystone pipeline. 85% of the oil produced in the Bakken travels by rail. Rail owned by Warren Buffet, President Obama's biggest contributor. I think this may be an interesting story to follow.

Bob -  Let's see.  I think your state has the lowest unemployment because of this oil.

Jeff Jensen maybe he will have a sequel now about oil transportation.

Winston Heverly sad but all to true. It seems the playground is only for bullies.

Grant Schneider  for several years running now. Things are a little nervous out here with the drop in oil prices but the "Big Boys" are not leaving anytime soon.
