'Demand reductions due to consumers preference aiming toward more efficient vehicles ( big diesel truck sales are dead and used diesels are cold)' Diesel is $4/gallon here. My big diesel is aging but far from gone. I am considering purchase of a more fuel efficient vehicle, a bit down the road. Just keep the big diesel for the bit of hauling I have to do. F and GM look to me like they are putting in big bottoms of sorts. Slowly but surely. Perhaps a lot of changes are coming in the make-up of autos and other energy consumption devices. Think it has to happen, as energy costs are surely having a decent effect on the broad middle class swath. Maybe we will build nuc plants again as well. Read recently that VW is testing a diesel hybrid, in the 80 MPG range. Not bad. There is another big plus about The Bakken, and that is it is located in the US. Regulatory issues aren't as easy as they used to be, but at least in this country you don't have a Chavez type thug holding a gun to your head. The Bakken will attract lots of Yankee dollars, I am sure.
