AP Newbreak: Company to mine salt, store wind

BISMARCK, N.D. — A Colorado company with backers in Britain has leased more than 5,000 acres in northwestern North Dakota to mine salt and store wind.

Denver-based Dakota Salts LLC says it wants to use voids created by mining in Burke County to store compressed air to be sold to wind farms to generate electricity. The mining caverns also could store carbon dioxide from North Dakota's coal-burning power plants or natural gas from the state's oil fields, the company said.

Green Chum: from a site promoting allegedly green businesses

The year is 2050. For ten years now the Polar Bear and several other species have been extinct. Fishing in the oceans has become impossible. The days of eating fresh cod, tuna, crab and lobster was a meal enjoyed in the past. The Amazon rainforest has been cut in half since the turn of the century. Much of it has turned into struggling farm land with desert like conditions. The wildlife that stretched throughout these lands has all since disappeared. Greenland once known for being a glacier is now lush and green. Antarctica has lost more than two thirds it’s size since the turn of the century also. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia once was a major tourist attraction to scuba divers and glass bottom boat onlookers for its coral reef and colourful marine life is only a bleached out story of what was once there. Australia itself has resorted to bringing in millions of gallons of fresh drinking water, daily from foreign countries. It’s now the highest price commodity worldwide. Malaria is out of control in several tropical destinations, taking thousands of lives per year. Natural disasters have become the normal everyday news broadcast.
