12:30 pm
i think we'll have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live on our air in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our homes so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid and the other chemicals because they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off into ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because of one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just swallow his hand it will
12:31 pm
be because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is is wrong in the water. for an issue that is as is the nobody drinks the water out of the father from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just is just like you never. drank water out of the out of the faucet night isn't this it is pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately own land this is not government land any less the environmental protection agency finds scientific proof that. there is real pollution going on
12:32 pm
they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there's just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures while tracking. down how to paint is advocating this notion in an attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely either this question is me raised to address the attention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water. ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company that facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. the think that
12:33 pm
used to hold water for the fracking. thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all that water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. you know that's been millions of dollars on water for one frac is one of the biggest expenses one of these wells the fresh. water after the frac they just log back out of the ground and they all went off to a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here go along comes out of the pump jack goes underground to the treaters in there it separates the oil the water in the gas this side. you're produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to
12:34 pm
come in with a truck and truck that out to get that disposal facility. keith there live sixty miles out of the list and on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter of north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have sacred land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roads and oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. rocking water it's all water all the things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that it's going into our river going into our creeks it's going into our spot on. this is not in the water but it is you know
12:35 pm
they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i didn't want them to walk in the water i want them to catch a fish you can eat you know want to grow a garden do won't have to worry about poisoning the planet i want to have plants with their medicine it's not deformed now because of the things that are in this water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution is caused by fracking. unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of or. during the journey phase radioactive to prepare out back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate dispose of these toxic materials into wild. yes.
12:36 pm
especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment say it's. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been read in a christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia . the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil put it into the moment if you phoria saw the u.s. rise in the first produces of crude oil based the shale. we can feel the concern brought by the price cut everywhere and will is to now shows the science of a boom town going to. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms
12:37 pm
because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a message here. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and is a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them there they're they're very scared by the. developments in hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states in the past five years went from importing something like sixty percent of the oil that we use down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken play. like here and will
12:38 pm
stand in a box and in other areas they want to put these companies out of business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after taking ten thousand wells we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the pocket. this situation brings happiness to the one person for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go back home or stay listed looking for new jobs. in february twenty fifteen want one of my coworkers i work with he call me and he said managers laid everybody off. he's in a told everybody to go to a room get all the stuff in get out and this will two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter. a man can't emptied out enclosed why day to the next.
12:39 pm
these dilapidated barracks will probably pollute the landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and. housing construction began at the peak of the list is now nearly complete. occupied in part by survivors of the good the neighborhood seems sadly empty.
12:40 pm
even with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still make more money than i can back home. just. now as much they used to. i i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job as talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people hiring or. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent
12:41 pm
market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. prosecution will need to become almost please show the fault is all and i think when you push us on this thread you'll find the most abiding among the sheep do i mean yeah i mean i've moved out political pressure on that god do i need him i'm close to the security dimension knows what the kind of business models used by american corporations jadhav was incomplete please hold on couldn't it. dizzee to
12:42 pm
use c. controls key i know was michael missing. the solution. to. the dissociation to. get. a new click and he saw it is just somebody with deleted data an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. zia's says holland kentucky. over all of this move the employees to the world ministry families are you know you. need. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners are said. that it was a drive to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger
12:43 pm
that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely for watching the hawks.
12:44 pm
it's hard. but i'm. i made them good money and i'm paying bills off them a boat to help my children out and. that. my children are very poor. just something that has to be done. you know it's it's just like this job too you know two nights ago i wanted to go home i was tired. but. the roof hi thanks we we had to hold the water otherwise that the well sit down and.
12:45 pm
people get upset so. you do what you have to do. in the oil. adults has slowed down though but still steady and you know just well doing three jobs every day of the week. don't show up it's work about sixty eight hours. in the day for the guy doing construction. maybe five or six hours and this he's now working out three or four making the sandwiches and.
12:46 pm
i write this place down for only three hundred fifty dollars a month he has the whole downstairs to himself. which is a little bit messy. i claimed. he had to leave california because there's no jobs why is there no jobs there's too many mexicans makes good to do the same job i was doing for half of the price. you know how many donuts oh. wow.
12:47 pm
i've done more for. twenty four dozen or. have. been encouraging out of to save some money. so that he can move his family here and put a deposit first and last month's rent on an apartment he's a good father he misses a little girl you know. missing. forward. when oil reached twenty nine dollars a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty.
12:48 pm
the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think the thirty five rigs active in the block and . as time goes on without new wells being drilled and fret our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. now
12:49 pm
we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the old companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here who gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to bozeman big sky area because constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore they're all gone just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off so couldn't put in the hours a lot of families to a lot of guys in the oil business the higher ups the guys making more money they've gone to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess someday but.
12:50 pm
so that's the whole process. sort of her claim to me. i could buy a house and i did i could stay in a very nice apartment but i don't need it and i have very low overhead and i like it that way and i don't have a lot of needs. and this is stuff. this was a born garage and there was a snow storm and heavy snow storm about three years ago i suppose and the snow load on the roof caused the roof to collapse so. so anyway it's kind of an open air garage and. i. have a hose hooked up in there and i water off i'm good. thanks
12:51 pm
. to the oil industry has changed dramatically and i don't like to see that i see companies going out of business and people being fired and laid off and loading up a u.-haul trailers and heading out of town and it's sad. it hasn't really affected me because. we service the infrastructure that has been built and once that infrastructure is built it still needs to be maintained i'm very thankful for that said here.
12:52 pm
so tonight we'll. do. one of the last minute rush. but it's nice to have the company and i actually enjoy . as i said before if you're really outside of. the former girlfriend came up with times oh you're like the only visitors that i've had here. in the over forty years that i've been with most. used to be far far or who are interested in girls. that like politics i've come to realize well politics is a scam girls are just problems. i mean.
12:53 pm

12:54 pm
because you're going to go on out get the best that. you should frank de sac. cindy the owner of the other manager of the store there. her business is down so far that she's had to. take on a second job now so she soles cosmetics to women here in the oil field. we gave her a lot to come up here but we thought it was going to be best for our family we thought the oil boom would be here for at least another fifteen years and that we would be able to. be able to make enough money to pay for our kids to go to college . they were can dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and. it's
12:55 pm
a tough reality and. this. is still a boom will come back but if it does it will be much much more shallow a growth curve. and won't be nearly as. much money and. i'm not. going to try the optimist.
12:56 pm
i think it's going to come back.
12:57 pm
prosecution will need to be acknowledging. the false don't dissolve in court where you question the threat of fines come also by the name on purpose you do i mean yeah i mean i mean did our political pressure. and him called old in a security generation those were the kind of business models he was my american corporations jadhav wasn't completely sold on continental does it as an m.p. use he controls the amana was not on the scene and the solution. eyes up in this is he didn't get it wrong sick at home. and outlook and he's also
