The Dakota Access pipeline is a 1,172 mile oil pipeline that stretches through North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and southern Illinois. The pipeline would allow oil companies to transport crude oil from North Dakota to oil refineries along the Eastern Seaboard. The pipeline’s construction was permitted by the participating state governments under eminent domain. Opponents of the pipeline (including several Native American tribes, including the Meskwaki and Sioux tribal nations) argue that the pipeline has the potential to pollute their water supply and destroy Native American burial sites. Proponents argue that the pipeline is necessary for the U.S. to achieve energy independence.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, this would threaten to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on surrounding land
@92MTVGV2yrs2Y
No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American Land and drastically increase the amount of fine the company must pay in the event of an accident.
@92MWV7F2yrs2Y
If Native Americans don't want it on their land, then it should not be allowed on their land.
@8ZK5HYT2yrs2Y
No, energy independence is absolutely critical to the United States
@8ZGYJSG2yrs2Y
No because if we were to stop the construction of our pipeline it would make our transportation of natural gasses harder to transport because we only have so many trucks we can send.
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
No, we need more oil to bring gas prices down.
@8ZGPKM92yrs2Y
i do not live there but in a pov that i did i think it would badly hurt the area if it started leaking
@8R2HCMG2yrs2Y
No, but extensive research should be done on where to build the pipeline and there should be immense oversight on the project.
@michaelconnely2yrs2Y
The pipelines are sometimes planned for top efficiency and not environmental concerns. One pipeline was planned under a large lake. What kind of stupidity would put a pipeline UNDER a lake.
@8YF4BR72yrs2Y
No, but reroute the pipeline away from native land and increase the fines the company must pay in the event of an accident
@8YHMVFB2yrs2Y
yes, they make more homes for them
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the pipeline has too great a potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who reside on the surrounding land
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the pipeline has too high of a potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who reside on the surrounding land
@8XVDJS62yrs2Y
Yes, this is like the settlers coming to America all over again. The moment you destroy prized and historical land, is the moment you start up an upcoming war.
@8XTW3QC2yrs2Y
only in cases of eminent domain where the land has religious or historical significance.
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, the pipeline has a high potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who reside on the land
@8XGY6ZS2yrs2Y
it's all up to the governemnt
@8XGJWK22yrs2Y
No, the government should help fund the pipeline and protect workers from those who disagree
@8X9V94P2yrs2Y
Yes, it is time we move to cleaner and renewable energy.
@8X9QB7W2yrs2Y
Government should not be placing further risks on Native American groups and the pipeline could cause detrimental damage to our environment and resources
@8X8FW3X2yrs2Y
No, but reroute the pipeline away for Native American Land, and increase the fine amount that the company should pay if an accident occurs.
@8X53MHF2yrs2Y
Yes, unless they make it more environmentally friendly
@8WZQLBD2yrs2Y
Yes. The government should never be allowed to acquire land my eminent domain. We need to stop promoting fossil fuels including oil and move toward cleaner energy. We should also not build on Native American land.
@8WKT3PP3yrs3Y
Yes, the government should not be allowed to build in Native American land and fines should be increased for companies who try to build in that land
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, the pipeline is routed through residing land that Native American tribes use for their water supply
@8W9KLWN3yrs3Y
Yes, it is not the governments land to build on.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, the potential is too strong for polluting the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, it has a strong potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline would be routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@8TB798W3yrs3Y
No, but the government should not use eminent domain to support its construction.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, due to its potential to pollute the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, it has the potential to pollute the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, since it has the potential to pollute the water supply for the Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, as the pipeline has the potential to pollute the water supply of the Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through
@8SVGQV93yrs3Y
No but increase presautions.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, because it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on land that the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, because it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on land that the pipeline is routed through.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, because it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through.
@8RSRZKR3yrs3Y
No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American Land and increase the repercussions in the case of an accident
@IINXMP3yrs3Y
No, as long as the land isn't being seized.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, since it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on land that the pipeline is routed through.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land the pipeline is routed through.
@8QM9QMR3yrs3Y
i do not have enough information to conduct a stance.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, it has the potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who live on the land that the pipeline is routed through.
@8QDZ34H3yrs3Y
Yes, with the consent of everyone owning the land in the way.
