that's huge for north dakota. more importantly because the serge in production was completely unexpected and because this administration has a total hands off policy, this oil bounty has meant next to nothing to the country has a whole. we know now more than ever because we can see the price of gasoline in america is going to spike if the oil fields in southern iraq are taken over by the lunatic rebels of isis. why shouldn't it even matter? >> the infrastructure to make use of this new found oil isn't ready thanks to a combination of speed and disbelieve. 63% of their oil is shipped by the dangerous rail car industry rather than the pipe lines. you can build them pipe lines. the pipe line project requires thousands of workers to put many to work. because of a fractured political environment it now takes a tremendous politically to build pipe lines. the populace seems split between those who want it stopped in its track, by those who want limited pipe lines. they will just use a different means of transportation. t

north dakota's economy last year expanded by 20%. is a slow down already from what we have seen. it has basically doubled in size over the past ten years, which is a tremendous amount of new labor, you know, inflows and -- and capital inflows. so it's certainly -- for the u.s. these growth rates are -- are not -- you know, you don't really hear this. this is emerging nation type of growth rates. it looks like -- you know, as the economy grows, as north dakota grows by it's sort of sheer size, the trend is going to slow down a bit. >> sure. >> it still has quite a lot of momentum, and there's still quite a lot of reserves in the ground. and with the new pipeline capacity they are trying to put in. this will allow for more drilling in there. right now the issue with north dakota is they are having a hard time getting the oil and natural it. >> let's take a look at the map again. and look at the right side of the map and you see west virginia growing at 5.1%. wyoming, 7.6%. this is not about natural gas. this is about coal. >> well, in

jobs in north dakota's oil field can pay big bucks, up to six figure as year. some workers say the risk is not worth the reward. ty james is one. he severely injured his spine when drilling equipment he was loading on to a truck fell on him. >> the emergency response people, they told me that had the trailer went down another two inches i wouldn't have known what happened. i would just be dead. >> reporter: james was lucky. work related deaths are on the rise in north dakota, up 45% in 2012 while they declined nationally. >> any time we see the number of fatalities above zero, that's a cause for concern by osha. >> reporter: covering north and south dakota, with over a thousand active wells and hundreds of oil service companies brooks and his eight inspectors have their work cut out for them. he thinks inspections have helped osha identify and correct hazards at some drilling sites but he says unexperienced workers and even employers are still the biggest problem. >> if we have someone with limited experience in the industry who started their own company, they

work-related deaths are on the rise in north dakota. while they declined nationally. >> any time we see the number of fatalities above zero it's a cause of concern by osha. >> reporter: erik brooks heads the office of osha carrying north and south dakota. with over a thousand active wells and hundreds of service companies, brooks and his eight inspectors have their work cut out for them. he thinks that inspections have helped osha correct and identify hazards at some oil drilling sites, but he said inexperienced workers and drillers are the biggest problem. >> when we have as much with a limited experience in the industry and started their own country coming up, they may not be aware of the hazards that their workers are exposed to. >> reporter: when it comes to workers' safety it all comes down to training. and here in the oil patch the kind of training rig workers get depends on the company they work for. company training runs the gamut. nabors oil has one of the most rigorous training programs. no new recruit can start a job without

the company's plan, building a pipeline from north dakota to new jersey. the proposed route will pass through a major water supply for millions for new york and new jersey. general plan tittle is the director of the new jersey sierra club. >> one of the concerns we have is if there's a leak or an explosion that it could jeopardize drinking water for more than a million people in new jersey. >> reporter: though largely invisible, roughly 186,000 miles of pipeline carry hazardous liquids throughout the country. 17% run near drinking supplies. now people are fighting back. by far the loudest outcry stems from the proposed keystone pipeline. ranchers and vienlts environmentalists are worried that it will threaten the ogalall-a aquifer. in april, the company opened a route passing within just two miles of the city's primary water supply. >> it's really an unknown danger in terms of how likely is there to be an extent? but accidents happen. to the best people, accidents happen. >> with more crude than existing appliance can handle, oil companies have turned to t

i turn to my friend and colleague from north dakota, the former governor of north dakota, i think the longest serving governor in the history of the state, for his impression of why it's time to vote today. mr. hoeven: mr. president? the presiding officer: the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: i'd like to thank the esteemed senator from wyoming not only for being here today but for his tremendous leadership on energy issues. wyoming produces an incredible amount of energy for this country and the senator from wyoming well knows you not only are have to produce that energy, have you to get it to market and you need pipelines to move oil and gas to market. we move some by truck, some by train, but we can't move everything by truck and by train. we've got to have pipelines. that's what this is all about. the keystone x.l. pipeline is the latest, greatest technology that is the most efficient and the safest way to move this product to market and will actually result in less greenhouse gas than if don't want build the pipeline as was determined by the administra

williston, north dakota, fargo, north dakota. in williston, you have got a walk-in clinic. in fargo, you have got a full hospital, full v.a. medical center, okay? take the test now that we're applying in this legislation. 40 miles, if you're within 40 miles, you have to go to the v.a. facility as long as you can get in within 14 days, but that 14 days has to also apply to the facility that's within that 40-mile radius. otherwise, you get an inconsistent, unfair result and actually disadvantage somebody who is within 40 miles of a walk-in clinic versus somebody who is outside that radius. let me give two examples to illuminate what i'm saying. you have got a vet, lives in williston, north dakota. if he can get an appointment within -- he is within 40 miles of that facility, he goes in, he gets his shot or whatever it is in that facility, no problem, but what happens if he can't, if that walk-in clinic doesn't supply the service? what does he do? well, if the 14-day rule applies to the fargo v.a. hospital, even though he is within 40 miles of the cboc, if the cboc doesn't pro

the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that we be allowed until 10:28 for purposes of a colloquy. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. hoeven: mr. president, i'm pleased to be here this morning with the distinguished senator from south dakota as well as the esteemed senators from both kansas and wyoming, to talk about this regulation that is clearly an overreach by the e.p.a. and it needs to be addressed. and we've gotten measures to address it. and as the senator from south dakota said so well, this is a regulation that is a huge problem for our farmers and ranchers, but really as he said, we've been hearing from almost every industry sector that this is a big-time problem. it needs to be addressed. it needs to be addressed now. as i said, we have legislation both in committee, i have legislation in the appropriations committee, the energy and water subcommittee, that would address it. the good senator from wyoming has legislation that he has submitted as fil

in north dakota, over 300 oil spills have gone unreported since january of 2012.th dakota is now planning to double the pipeline capacity in the next two years. they will jump from over 700,000 barrels a day to 1.4 million barrels a day. there's no doubt oil companies are polluting the environment. when something happens they don't report it or weasel their way out of the cleanup. what about those folks who have been affected down in the gulf? are they ever going to be made whole? joining me tonight on the rapid response panel, brant kuhn and reese halter. we spent time with both of you back during the oil spill several years ago. mr. kuhn, let me ask you first, will the people of the gulf ever be made whole by bp? >> hell, no, ed. the sad thing is four years into had litigation, 75% of claimants have been stonewalled and denied and bp filed a motion with the court where all of these cases are proceeding requesting the right to go back and make a claim to get their money back from the people they've made payments to in the past. >> so where does this go? i mean, t

the reserve in north dakota is going to be dwarfed by what's happening in texas right now. things happen in mexico and mexico decided to privatize their oil industry. that's going to be huge. so from canada to north dakota through texas and mexico, we're just going to be a wash in oil. >> so here's the thing, to his point, there's almost certain stubbornness that drains people of all common sense. when you have the energy department saying, hey, wait a second, if you have to not do the keystone pipeline and you rely on shipping to asia, that's 10 times the miles you're going to ship, you know, that oil from canada to asia. that adds to the cost. also, if you have the keystone, get this mike, you would basically be able to ship oil and mid continent oil through the refineries via the keystone. so it seems like supply would go up and the prices would go down. what do you think, mike? >> i wouldn't call it stubborn. i would call it stupidity. this thing should have been approved years ago. one of the benefits would have been our economy would have been stronger and as to what'

my great grandfather on my father's side homesteaded in north dakota in 1883.there's a family legend that i think is true in 1884, which was one year after he began homesteading the land in southeastern dakota that one morning a bison wandered up to a stock tank behind the sod farm he built and he shot the bison and that was probably the last wild buffalo east of the james river in dakota territory. so i heard that story growing up and i was obsessed with buffalo and with that animal. as i got older, i read a lot of history when i was young. when i got older the destruction of the bison of course was connected to the decimation of the indian tribes are not part of the world. and so, my excitement about bison became a bit more complicated and i sta
