Special Edition – Senator Kevin Cramer

We have a “COBT Special Edition” for you this week! We were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit with Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota this morning. We had plenty to cover with the Senator given the Dakota Access Pipeline controversy and how it affects the Bakken and America’s national and economic security.

Senator Cramer was very generous with his time and thoughts and we greatly enjoyed the conversation. As you will hear towards the end, we also had some great conversation around the 45Q tax provision, the Paris Accord, and how the energy debate can be made more balanced and more bipartisan. For the good of the nation and the world, we need it. We are excited to keep pushing for what our friend Scott Tinker calls the “radical middle” and we appreciate your thoughts and suggestions as we try and get there.

We want to say a big thank you to Senator Cramer on behalf of the energy community for giving us the “on the ground” view of the current environment in North Dakota.
