USA. North Dakota. 2012. This old schoolhouse became a dance hall at one point but has been abandoned for about 50 years. Steve EricksonÕs son will never know a life without lots of money. Nor a life without heavy trucking and oil wells now dotting the once farming only community. Grasslands are oil lands. There is a sea of oil right here larger than Saudi fields. No unemployment here now for the forseeable future. Locals are happy to make the hard cash and feel this will make the U.S. indepedent of foreign oil.
