Energy builds the economy in North Dakota

NY Times:

A Great Divide Over Oil Riches

Money is flowing by the barrelful into Mountrail County, N.D., transforming a tiny community into an oasis of prosperity at the heart of the nation’s biggest oil play.
As is typical with the anti energy left, the story focuses  on those who do not prosper as much as those who saw the opportunity and seized on it.  It seems to ignore the fact that a rising tide can lift all boats.  It is similar to the politics of envy that pervades the left's anti Wall Street obsession.

This country could be much more prosperous if the left would get out of the way of energy production.  If Democrats would quit trying to strangle domestic energy production, we could create hundreds of thousands of jobs and increase revenue to the government by a trillion dollars over time.  It could be a good start on paying down the debt Democrats have run up.
