companies rest to exploit this new energy resource period thirty two miles below the first surface oil soon flows freely and news spreads the wildfire for the ones left behind by the crisis of two thousand and eight relisted seems like their last chance for you in life with an unemployment rate of zero percent and wages it three or four times more than the national average the promise of prosperity and desperate times is too great to ignore cheered by a common hope thousands of men and women throw themselves once again into a desperate rush towards the mythical american tree and at any cost. history repeats itself in the midst of his new book no doubt the most impressive and u.s. history. they need there's more work out here than they got able to do it. i don't believe. i still believe there's a dream i want you to get there still mostly. my.

act is like a gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush. father is fresh out of cincinnati in two thousand and twelve after being unemployed for months he hears about the boom happening in willis to. thank god. first he works for an oil company but soon his desire for independence takes over and he sets up his own service company. bought the company and we had a sweeper truck and the situation and went from a manageable situation where i only get like some sleep at night and i could like keep up with like daily activities like taking showers every day to like an all out

sprint trying to like keep up with so much work it was amazing go from one job to the next to the next to the next to the next as it is now i have not right now i have not taken a full day off in over nine months and i'm very thankful i'm here i'm not complaining one bit very thankful for the money an opportunity i was like someone who had been starving for years for like money like all of a sudden there's like. all you can eat. buffet and all you have to do is go out there and get the work done and people give you money to do it was amazing this year i'm probably going to be making around two hundred fifty thousand dollars is a lot of work involved a lot of work it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week. well i guess i should get back to work. here in an inhospitable they're full of contrasts before the boom willesden was a small conservative agricultural town and in many ways this aspect seems untouched

everything has its own place including border emptiness and silence the streets are practically deserted it's a town that is motionless within its history of the past. then you have another town the one that needs to welcome this new wave of residence company settling down a large numbers of extracting at least a million barrels of oil a day. this is the one we unpacked like a raft gift. without growing up with a kind of uniformity copy and paste prefabricated. never cussed me. investors are right in that everything based upon a population that should be multiplied by four. first came up here in the spring of two thousand ford saying i worked at a neighbor's they did a hydraulic fracturing and i was looking at how much it was going to cost me to stay somewhere you know if i was just going to stand a whole tale it was like one hundred dollars and i was in it ok hundred dollars

a day seven days a week that's seven hundred dollars on a course of a whole week and so i just came to the conclusion you know what i'll give me a van fix it up so that you know i can be comfortable in it it makes financial sense because i get to keep the majority of my money versus just just on the way on housing and stuff like this. is my first and then. it works. and that's because the. jury cannot very long it is van where winter temperatures sometimes drop of the minus twenty. for the time being nothing is ready everything has happened so quickly it's very hard to find a place to. make shift housing known as man camps mine up by the hundreds on the edge of town or close to drilling sites. these dormitory towns built by necessity and empty lots offer respect me one

hundred and one hundred fifty dollars a night to meals including. a two thousand and twelve the population living in these men camps was estimated to be over ten thousand yeah guys phone and now to florida nevada chicago cleveland you name it after the license plate. every week you know this is the best thing for single men you know i mean that's what i mean as far as wages and. so the everything. no the whole country should be this way. because. this place will put like a stress on you it will put a weight that you'll be carrying around on you and you are really realizing and

when i went home i came back i noticed that weight pressure that whatever you want to call it it builds up over time for me and. you wouldn't come up here unless there's some reason for you to come up here you know nobody was moving up here into the in two thousand and one i was moving up here in two thousand and one or two thousand and two it wasn't until ok i can gain something financially i can i can improve my situation i can better my status my situation or on the level that i met in life now and that's that's what the whole fill up here really brought to a lot of people who were smart about it and save their money. because i'm tell you man i was asking a lot of pressure. there's not much help here to do to keep you busy focused on something you know you know keep your time occupied you

know is really allow me to save all of my money and i'm in a position where you know i can go back home and buy your house. i just like the sound of it i can go back home by your house take cash for a house not a car not a car but a house. alone with just in the lease it's footprints on the landscape the fast as it please your coverage through these resources for as far as the eye can see as we slowly to extract the michael's from the subtree in temps. it became urgent to build four lane highways all around town in order to accommodate the lines of trucks transporting of kinds of pipes beams sand and water used in fracking. nothing was planted advance everything was done in a hurry because of the immediacy of the work and the enormous influx of workers

investors and the unemployed rushed in chasing their dream to grab a piece of the pie. german got austrian guy italian an american and my rifles just in case i need to kill someone. most americans have guns in their house. and at the foot of my bed is a bible. most of my adult life was spent in universities doing teaching the research i went to the university of maine and got several degrees there in agricultural engineering information systems then i worked for mit on the human genome project. there came a time when there was a recession there was high unemployment i spent a lot of time reading the news on the internet and i kept reading about the williston the oil boom the bokken shale. i wasn't doing anything i was going into

debt so i decided to go from an area that had almost ten percent unemployment to an area that had less than one percent unemployment. i came looking for work but i didn't know what kind of work to take. so i fell into wireline it was very difficult at the beginning i had. accidents while pulling a trailer i could have been killed there were explosives in the trailer and it's fun three hundred sixty degrees and the explosives came out the back. but my boss didn't fire me they gave me another chance. after the first year i was very pliable i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had a hand a small hand but nevertheless i changed my career late in life and involved myself in american energy independence and in weaning this country of our foreign

oil dependency. you know america would sell its own mother for energy. i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i need to come up here to make some money to pay off debt and stuff we're getting there. i went to school and became an teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year and drive a truck so i chose to drive truck. and i were usually twelve to fourteen hours to get my truck around eight o'clock in the

morning and i work till eight o'clock at night you know somewhere between me and i . mentally. not only. physically fifty. minutes of mental fatigue also. this is the moment that i like the best. reached down enough to see everything stops vibrating all the noise goes away.

i live in a company housing here it's provided by the company i have to share. thirty five foot r.v. trailer with a three hundred fifty pound guy. good . friends are. twenty eight team coverage and we've signed one of the greatest kill people. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and

a huge amount of pressure can remap you have to be the center of the digital would you. agree. you are the rock at the back nobody gets to you we need you to get going let's go. along. and i'm really happy to join. the thousand in the world cup in russia meet this special one. meets just at the reno team's latest edition of make up this week . running around trying to find a job and work here there and it's not a good life for. my children who've had some some problems so i

spent a lot of money helping my children and cumulated debt so. the original plan was to come up here for six months. and get out of debt but as they came up i made money paid off some bills through. or other things. happy birthday celestial. six sixteen inches. well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial well i mean. i love you too and talk to you in the morning. if you.

are usually a truck come back to the trailer here get a frozen meal. throw in microwave sit down to need it and. if we're not too tired. my roommate and i'll have a bowl of ice cream and and watch part of a d.v.d. on the laughter. but most of the time it and go to sleep i don't take a shower every night because we don't shower well there's a shower in the trailer but there's no running water. not been done deal she. just has not solely attract unoiled workers. it was an opportunity for people like jeff and constance to change their lives to open a small business. and before i moved to boston i was in the health care industry

and then a hospital administrator for several years in kansas. my project was going to live and i wanted to be with my family first and i remember talking to some people was talking about wilson and about north dakota and the oil boom there's a lot of oil out here and there's a lot of jobs in the water of opportunity for business willesden seem to have the best opportunities for us and my family and so we drove up to the local and we realized immediately there was a huge opportunity out here so many people out here there must have been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we looked a little bit closer and said ok what skill sets do we have that would be a good system and we thought that maybe you don't shop for so many other businesses have done here and the old timers they all think that foreigners coming here to

take their money and go back home they don't think we're like that and i think that's one of the reasons for that since it's not just. a business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community they supported us the deathly didn't help to se. we are current of it and were always contributed. to. be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have know it's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they hadn't had one for over. eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend for ten. they come in my shop all its high school board was wow go go nuts. there are more families there are coming to wait list and now i go pick up the land at school and i see other kids you know on

the asian kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign that the community is growing. healthy with you know a little. crack lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. has run out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for willis and he knows he will not see his wife and two kids for several weeks. long hours behind the wheel with the hope that he will find work when he arrives when i leave my family like this i usually feel you know pretty lousy at times there was one incident years ago where my daughter was just in tears as i was leaving and it's like it's hard it's it's not fun it's hard but it's what has to be done. they're getting better at it they're getting used to it i'm getting

used to it but i still like a brother be home. craig is the way he's usually gone he'll be anywhere from about four weeks to this last almost eight weeks really. we'll see him for about eight weeks and then hokum home for about a week or so i think it's been hard for the kids because. they were told me that they feel like it's a broken home you know it's almost like we're divorced because we see so little of each other so it's just been really hard for them this is very similar to living on a ship or being on a boat you're gone for months and see you come back and you see the family for short periods of time and then take off on your ship again you're it's a great analogy it's exactly where it's why. we've all talked about this and i think we could do with a little less so that he could spend more time with us and be more of

a family. so i think i would rather have that happy family over here some of the stuff that we transfer died for us that watching my kids grow up it's difficult until it's almost five years now there's no doubt about it but it's just it's what we have to do. adam had just lost his job in the oil business when he met us and constance the couple was charged by the courage you know power of this young man ready to do anything to save his family from misery. since then adam spends all his nights eating donuts. and doing three jobs right now working every day. trying to get some money i want to relocate my family up here. i've got two

girls two daughters i want something better form where we lived in southern california is not a very nice place to live so it's a lot of crime a lot of gangsters and browns so the north dakota a be a better place to raise a family. there's a lot of resources here and you've got the salvation army and they feed you here at the methodist church over it lutheran church down there. but i get food from work too at the donuts trying to send all my money home for my wife to pay the bills and rent it's enough to get by you know just pay the writ you know they pay one hundred a week right no they guy me understand i have a family he wanted to say one hundred twenty five but if you drop it down to a hundred a week. you. the

american dream is that you can always chase i really believe that even during the recession there were still opportunities for each is going to look for you got to be overwhelming or move to change that to get going and go go chase go do it. now a lot of people don't do that but the ones they do with usually come out ahead wrong. because our country's never be stable across the whole it's very rare to have all fifty states doing well it's also rare to have all fifty states to poorly so we're always moving around that's part of our national character it's always find new opportunities wherever they may be. what i do here pretty much is remodelling homes and handyman work fifteen other people's mistakes and other people's problems mostly for homeowners residential it keeps me real busy. i build out usually about sixty hours

a week i can easily put in a twelve hour day no promise you have to run you know my go to bank post office go see clients check on supplies orders stuff a lot of running around to do i love to work how i am a workaholic there's no doubt about it the money's nice but i like work just the way my family is. and. these are some of the old cattle pens in corrals here some of the fallen apart completely but this is where they bring in the cattle to brando and have the calves i have the facts work on them and stuff but now i can see it i don't use it anymore . it was kind of a tough life i mean you lose cattle they die and the winners and so on the hot summers and you know drought is just on i was going to happen gamble every year they never made a lot of money doing it most or ranchers and farmers but they really don't have to do that anymore because they've got the palms down there that they can make money

off of. and the oil is put a lot a lot of money into her pocket so now they can do what they want you know take it easy work whatever they want to do so now it's not as risky life's not as risky as you used to be. a little. you don't meet many people that are from. when i'm talking to a bunch of people i don't know and they say we're you from i say here and they go what's. most the people that lived here then they were dismayed to see this many

people coming lot of people made a lot of money so i mean they like that the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred a month two thousand a month and rent so they're gone. i remember the first time i drove out to the place and i was eighteen miles about and i counted fifty or oil rigs that i could see from the road and that's when it started getting crazy i thought you know the oil companies for the most part they're good until we start thinking that they can power right over here because they're big and powerful . one thing they do do and i asked them when they came out the first time they always send a woman along with the initial group to comes out and i asked him straight out i said is that because we will shoot a woman he said you know. we

never walk in the house now i go take the key out. all the time that my pickup relocking the house we have alarm system in the house could change just about everything. to get my mail. our yet more and more neighbors. it's not the country anymore like it used to be a lot of these are people who moved in with the oil. there was no place to buy in town they bought a lot so what here probably three four acres watch and build out here. something happens in this case it was the chemical attack on civilians in syria and

then the public and the media are waiting for the response i think it's very clear now that if president trump said that there is going to be response then it will be i just think that our expectations in a way that this american response will be so severe that it will be a game changer i think this is not the case it will again be messages and very careful calculation by the americans not to deteriorate into a clash a direct confrontation with russia.

the u.s. the u.k. and france carried out strikes against the syrian government in response to an alleged chemical attack in eastern the intervention came just hours before international inspectors were due to arrive investigate the. united nations security council holds an urgent meeting on the attack and rejects a russian draft resolution calling for an end to aggression against syria. ukraine's prime minister praises of the joint military operation against assad's government has limited targeted and effective. and in other news russia's foreign minister claims that the international chemical weapons watchdog may not correctly

i don't.
