manufacturing and services."
Moore attacked the Obama administration's continuing opposition to the coal
and oil industries, saying they "serve
only to unilaterally disarm ourselves economically."
The American energy renaissance must
be allowed to flourish, Moore insisted.
"The United States can become the dominant energy supplier in the world," he
maintained. "Energy is the number one
national security issue of our time. The
best way to put our enemies out of
business is to drill for oil in places such
as North Dakota and Texas."
As a proponent of supply-side economics, Moore said the most important
policy for driving economic growth was
cutting taxes for companies and individuals, followed by reducing regulatory
burdens on business.
"There is anger across America,"
Moore commented. "The reason is the
United States continues to see a growth
deficit because of an administration that
believes for every problem, there is a
government solution."

Education And Training
For the second year in a row, NDPC's
opening session included a student representative of Future Farmers of America
urging support for that program.
Keylee Odden, a student at North
Dakota State University, said there were
84 FFA chapters in the state. The FFA
places an emphasis on skills training for
job placement and entrepreneurship, she
said. It also instills leadership qualities
as it delivers services to communities.
Mark Hagerott, chancellor of the North
Dakota University System, discussed the
importance of workforce development
during the slowdown in oil field activity.
A former line engineer in the U.S. Navy,
Hagerott said one of the reasons America
defeated Japan in World War II was the
armed services' practice of taking personnel off the front lines for training.
"The war was a battle of machines, but
the difference was how we took care of
people," he said.
He urged oil industry leaders to emphasize training and education, including
for laid-off workers to "take advantage
of downtime."
An initiative called Bakken U brings
together specialized programs at five
western North Dakota colleges that are
aimed at training for oil and gas workers.
Hagerott appealed to the audience to

show its support. "We are in a war for
energy, and your people are a crucial
part. You must see they get the training
they need," he concluded.
Education and sharing of information
are key elements of the state's new
pipeline and gathering system ombudsman
program, according to state Agriculture

Commissioner Doug Goehring, who also
sits on the North Dakota Industrial Commission.
He said the program was developed
to bridge a gap between surface owner
expectations and company operations.
Disputes often arise from a farmer's or
rancher's expectation that certain things
