Hennen: A new phoenix rising in North Dakota oil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
North Dakota has a long history of oil and gas companies taking a chance on the Bakken and becoming major players in one of America's great energy-producing regions. Now there is a new name making its mark, and doing it in a hurry: Phoenix Energy. At a time when longtime operator Continental Resources pulled back drilling activity because of oil prices and economics, standing down rigs in North Dakota, Phoenix went the other direction. They stood rigs up, drilled wells and invested aggressively
Hennen: What a 92-year-old farmer knows about Washington (opens the original)

It’s not every day an icon of the U.S. Senate drops by North Dakota just to look around. But Chuck Grassley is not exactly your typical senator.

And, after 232 years, America finally quit making the penny. Somewhere, a jar on top of a refrigerator is feeling very nervous. Now comes crypto, stablecoins, blockchain and digital assets. If your eyes just glazed over, welcome to my club. Here is my fifth-grade explanation: We are talking about new ways to own, move and exchange value using com
Hennen: Build here. Build now. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vice President JD Vance is right about data centers. “They’re like the gasoline of the technology revolution” America will experience over the next 75 years, Vance said. They create construction jobs, power artificial intelligence and help determine whether America or China wins the next great technological race. If we want America to win, we need to build. But build smart. President Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge gets that balance right: data centers should bring or buy the new power they
