I like the way we see and hear the people interviewed and not about the ruminations and commentaries of creator of video.

People of this state seem pretty likable and are handling new wealth best they can. Seems like their is quite few people their who actually care about their neighbors!

Love the understated way the locals talk about the invasion of newcomers in their midst. I for one would not be so polite in my comments.

Thanks for entertaining, informative movie, with some Real people talking real. I definitely want to visit this state now and meet some of these up front peeps.

That number is put out by the USGS and is only referring to liquid oil and does not count oil-shale or kerogen, which are all capable of being turned into fuel. Estimates range form 150 billion to 3 trillion equivalent barrels of oil in the US alone if we are interested in getting at it. The oil industry alone could put millions of Americans back to work!

The US has less than 2% of the world's oil reserves. Knowing that, I'm not even going to ask how you propose to achieve energy independence much less how liberals could possibly prevent it. Sounds like you have defenestrated too many brain cells listening to rightwing propaganda...

Blaming Republican administrations for the cost of foreign oil is STUPID, and disingenuous, when liberals monolithicly oppose American energy independence. DEFENESTRATE all Democrats.. that IS the best first step to America's recovery. Next step: Put Salazar in jail FOR LIFE!

This just shows what happens when Greed drives into a small town, and throws Money around, when this just Destroys more,and more, towns,and cities,Tempting everyone, and Corrupting some...

And that gaudy "mansion" the old boy put up, is worth the watch,just for that !

It is a good representation of the good People of North Dakota, and i wish them the best!
