Dorgan, who chairs the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee, said he is responsible for writing the appropriations bill for energy- and water-related federal projects.

He said in a statement that the new bill will include money for the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives to coordinate a study of incentives to increase North Dakota's refining capacity.

Dorgan said the continuing investment by Tesoro Corp., in its Mandan refinery is good news, but he said more is needed to ensure that North Dakota is not at risk of a fuel supply shortage.
