The Bakken oil boom in North Dakota has brought much-needed jobs and economic development to the region. But the fast pace of the drilling has caused many problems, including industrial-scale impacts on Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the land surrounding it.
"A Boom With No Boundaries" explores how one of America's 59 national parks is already being affected by the pollution, traffic, and noise associated with oil and gas drilling.

National Parks are national treasures. These are some of the areas that should be off limits to oil drilling. We do not have to drill everywhere!

We can close coal power plants but we are going to have to drill in a national park. It is very sad.

So I say that your comment suffers from extreme shortsightedness. What good is a "job" if you can't drink the water or grow food to eat?

How do we relace incomes for oil related jobs?
