Makes sense - I hope that the oil boom can stick around and the place doesn't get clobbered with negative environmental side effects. We need all the industry we can get in this nation, and more energy sources is always good, along with jobs for folks in those industries.

I wish them luck.

If anyone wants to see what this place will look like in 20 years, check out most of West Virginia.

Jobs based around non renewable resources are temporary and unsustainable.

By the way, you do know that many of the people out there working that boom cant even afford to live in real housing right, especially the support people?

No matter what people post on here for work or job opportunities
you are always going from thread to thread
trying to shoot it down or say it is not worth it.

You never have anything good to post, just negative
talk, and try to destroy other peoples hopes for work and a paycheck.

Don't you have any hope for people or do you just
get your kicks destroying other peoples hopes, because you are bored
and can't find work ? ? ? ...

Do you have some sort of problems with delusion? Seriously, at no point have I ever once said I was unemployed. In fact, I pretty much write all my posts exclusively FROM work.

Second, if anyone is attaching their "hopes" to a non renewable resource, they are an idiot. Im sure even the people actually working in the fields realize that their job is likely temporary.

Third, you do nothing but post articles with misleading identification, without addressing any of the downsides that come with it. In this case, the article itself outright points to the lack of affordable housing in the boom towns, and the fact that people are living in temporary housing camps and even their own cars.

Considering North Dakotas winters, I should hope a person considering running off to the oil fields would have concern about having to sleep in their car.

WV is your home state, that explains alot.

Any how, I just read an article the other day on the poorest towns in the country, about half of them were in West Virginia. In almost every case they were former coal towns where either the coal dried up, or the mines just shut down. Ghost towns near former gold or silver mines are all over the American west.

Thats what happens to boom towns when the resource dries up or the mine shuts down. Period.

Coal didn't dry up the EPA shut down the power plants that used the coal.

As far as alternative sources of fuel Obama's Algae Energy Euphoria: Is Pond Scum A Green Scam? - Forbes

It's a scam like everything else involved with the envirowackos.

Quote:
Remember how ethanol was going to save us from dependence on foreign oil imports? After four decades, huge mandates to force it on gasoline consumers, tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, and huge impacts upon food prices, it only represented about five percent of automotive fuel (by volume) in 2008. Biodiesel accounted for less than one percent of the diesel market that year.
But it's the pond scammers that take the cake. Every crooked shyster in America is going to be hopping onto this bandwagon because there are lots of bucks to be made from stupid, gullible people.
