Coal Gasification in North Dakota
It's another chapter in the sad chronicle of Montana losing out on energy development. Last week the Bismarck Tribune reported that Great Northern Power Development will build a coal gasification plant near South Heart, North Dakota. The project is expected to bring 200 new jobs. South Heart is just 50 miles from the Monana border.
Meanwhile Montana has not a single coal gasification or liquefaction project on the drawing board. Keep on talking, Governor Schweitzer.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked and amazed.
Not so much that North Dakota is getting the energy production businesses that BS keeps telling us are out there. By now, most of us have figured that hot air is his idea of energy production and no longer expect real results.
No, what is of interest to me is that this post has been up for almost 24 hours and Schweitzer's faithful Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum (aka Viola and Lily) seem to have abandoned their responsibilities and neglected to defend the Gov. in their usual prompt albeit vapid manner.
Might there be no rebuttal to FACTS????
I think maybe it's called "I think I'll sit this one out, don't confuse me with the facts"...lefties hate it when they get their hands caught in the cookie jar don't you know!Thanks Carter for pointing out that once again our good Gov. is all all hat and no cowboy!
