Our next home-grown market? $100MM/month lost..

Well..I have been waiting for that mother of all orders from the Bakken for years..Microturbines have been operating in that area since the Hess pilot project of 2005..seems they have to overcome dealing with high levels of sulfur..and if gas-preparation systems are needed they can be costly..
