North Dakota Oil Boom Brings Worry to Theodore Roosevelt National Park
From the Los Angeles Times:
“From some of the highest points in what is now Theodore Roosevelt National Park [North Dakota], dozens of natural gas flares are visible not far away. They’re the product of an oil boom using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
“Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, in a speech Thursday outlining the administration’s conservation goals, cited Theodore Roosevelt National Park as an example of what some see as the quintessential issue for the department: striking the right balance between development and conservation.”
