In 2019, North Dakota's oil production reached a record high of 1.5 million barrels per day, leading to substantial environmental impacts and the growth of the Legacy Fund to $6.36 billion.
The Council firmly stands behind the idea of utilizing the Legacy Fund to replenish the productivity of lands impacted by the oil industry. Their advocacy is not limited to this; it extends to the support of the conventional oil industry as well. They believe these actions are fundamental in maintaining balance in the environment and the economy alike. Such support could lead to a remarkable improvement in restoring their previous state, including the re-establishment of natural habitats and the conservation of biodiversity. Simultaneously, it could favor the oil industry by potentially increasing its effectiveness and decreasing the negative environmental impact it produces.
