• The Dakota Access Pipeline does not cross any land owned by the Standing Rock Sioux.

• The project’s developer and the Army Corps made dozens of overtures to the Standing Rock Sioux over more than two years. Other tribes and parties did participate in the process. More than 50 tribes were consulted, and their concerns resulted in 140 adjustments to the pipeline’s route.

• This isn’t about water protection. Years before the pipeline was announced, the tribe was working with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps to relocate its drinking water intake. The new site sits roughly 70 miles downstream of where the pipeline is slated to cross the Missouri River. Notably, the new intake, according to the Bureau of Reclamation, will be 1.6 miles downstream of an elevated railroad bridge that carries tanker cars carrying crude oil.

The malcontents, the zanies and the crackpots ignore the facts:

• Transporting oil by pipeline is the safest means of transport, far safer than transporting oil by rail or truck.

• Natural gas is used for heating millions of homes in America, and without pipelines Americans might not be able to heat their homes during the winter except by burning wood. Oil is the other alternative for heating, and is widely used in New England.

• Homeowners were hit with high prices for natural gas and electricity during the winter of 2013 due to insufficient supplies of natural gas because of pipeline inadequacy.

• Natural gas is used for power generation, which, with the closing of coal-fired power plants, is becoming more important for providing people with low-cost electricity.

Blocking pipelines from bringing natural gas to New England power plants is endangering those living in New England with the potential for blackouts.


Why are the Standing Rock Sioux protesting if the pipeline is so good for everyone?
 
I guess the only place it hurts them is in the wallet. Where is that thread were everyone was laughing at the NC boycotts?
 
database error ?


I love it, when Litsters from the oldie thread drop by!

:heart:

(Spell check opinion- replace "oldie thread" with teardrop. Smart arse gremlin.)

I masturbated for an hour. And my orgasm was so tiny that I cried of anger.
I hope my cunt isn't broken again.
 
Damn Murph, hope you used power equipment to save yourself from carpal tunnel syndrome
 
It is bitterly cold outside.

My scarf needs a scarf.

Last Monday morning, at the gas station in Minneapolis, some guy was wearing a half face mask and making a big effort to shiver while he put gas in his car. I was wondering what he'd do if it really got cold in Minnesota. If he'd have been a little smarter, he might have had a decent jacket made for single digit °F on instead of the thin little stylish POS he was wearing.

That's a hipster doofus for you.

Howdy, thor.
