This Is A Problem Nevada Could Use

Northern and Western North Dakota are booming because of all of the oil being discovered there and because of that, the North dakota economy is booming, but there are problems.
From the Minor Daily News: Get in the flow or get out of the way. Today those might seem to be the only options in this community that scarcely topped 200 residents in the latest official census. But, like the number of semi-trailers rolling through the town daily, estimated to be as high as 8,000 every 24 hours, Alexander has grown too.
The surge in growth is due to the flurry of activity in the Bakken Formation, much of it in the past six months. The frantic pace of life now in previously remote and seldom visited western North Dakota has created a lifestyle shock for many local residents.
Raymond Nadolny, Williston State College president, said Williston will soon outgrow West Fargo and become the state's fifth-largest city. He said he wouldn't be surprised if Williston's population reaches 60,000 in five years. The city, located about 20 miles north of Alexander, ranked ninth in the state with fewer than 15,000 residents in 2010.
"We are living in a new city, a new region," said Nadolny.
Residents say the region's well-documented traffic problems are beyond comprehension for those who have not experienced it. Thousands of semi-tractors roll continuously every day on paved and dirt roads. Some improvements, such as occasional passing lanes, have helped alleviate some safety concerns but there's so much traffic that those used to a quieter lifestyle feel threatened.
"I'm out on the farm 12 miles from Alexander. Nobody wants to drive to town," said Tim McGowan.
"My mother and I come out of our dirt road every morning and ask what is going on?" said Jodi Stover, Alexander. "People are not as happy here. They aren't. We're splintered a little bit. I'm from here and am not going anywhere. You just have to hunker down and wait it out. The kids don't run around anymore. You just have to be more careful."
There are many times during the day and night when the line of semis stretches as far as one can see on highways in the region. It's all part of the necessary moving of the products demanded in the oil fields. http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/560337/Too-fast-to-control--Oil-boom-s-extreme-surge-overwhelms-Alexander.html?nav=5010
If oil was suddenly discovered in rural Clark or Nye county, would the communities even want to accept the wealth that goes with it?
We know Harry Reid would do his best to ruin every chance of drilling for oil because of his marriage to green energy. Even with the prospect of an industry hiring ten's of thousands of people, Harry Reid would certainly be against it. Since Clark County is generally controlled by Democrats, there would be a lot of pressure for them to restrict the growth of the jobs. The liberals in the state would want to tax the heck out of the oil companies.
In Nye County, it is run by conservatives, so they would be all for drilling for oil, if oil was ever found here- heck they still want Yucca Mountain in operation.
North Dakota is going through an oil boom which started fairly fast and could end at any time and I am sure that is a concern. But, it would be a nice problem like an oil boom to have here in Nevada.
