Chris Wright: “North Dakota produces 35% more electricity than it did.”

“What you've seen in Nebraska and North Dakota is they haven't closed coal plants and gas plants. They haven't closed their dispatchable reliable generation, and they've got existing grid infrastructure. So in North Dakota produces 35% more electricity than it did. It had to invest money and build new generation and new transmission to do that. Say you invest 25% more money and you produce 35% more electricity.” (23:36–23:42)
