Will be located just south of Minot, ND. Two rail lines there. Not sure about pipeline. Tesoro might have their fingers in it too, as they were at a planning meeting. Tesoro has a petroleum refinery southeast of Minot and dedicated pipeline to the Twin Cities in Minnesota. The questions I have:
1. Will it really get built? Coal and petroleum oil rule North Dakota. Eight renewable energy bills didn't make it out of ND legislature this year.
2. If it gets built then how long will it run? There seems to be a lot of fingers in the pie, and the more fingers there are the less profit per finger.
3. Who gets the oil? If Tesoro has a finger in the pie then the oil may go to military use. Navy directed 20% of non-tactical diesel to be bio by mid 2005. Tesoro refinery is a high grade oil which military likes.
