North Dakota

ELPC’s public interest attorneys and advocates are in the courts and before state agencies to protect the state’s wild and natural places like Teddy Roosevelt National Park. We also challenge wasteful methane flaring from oil wells that pollutes the air, wastes energy resources, deprives the state of tax revenues, and damages natural resources.

ELPC works together with local and national partners to reduce pollution from the Bakken shale oil industry. We also work to support wind power growth in North Dakota, as an opportunity to support green jobs and retire polluting coal plants still running in the state.
