Quote:I wonder if any of these knuckleheads have done an ounce of research of the safety records of the ways to transport petroleum products. Clearly not, or they would know that a pipeline is exponentially safer than any existing mode of moving petroleum. That is an undisputed fact per the NTSB, who oversees all modes of the transportation. 

 

This is just another example of the idiocy of the left and evidence of the mental disorder that all libs suffer from.

 

And since America is headed back toward energy independence, the Honorable President Trump wants it to be as safe to all Americans as possible. He doesn't want a repeat of the mess in the Gulf that the prior administration botched so badly. Trump actually CARES about Americans. Even the loony libs.

 

It took me all of 5 minutes to find out the facts.  Here are a couple of other fun ones.

 

In developing the route, the United States Army Corps of Engineers alone held 389 meetings with 55 tribes regarding the Dakota Access project. In addition, the U.S. Army Corps reached out to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe nearly a dozen times to discuss archaeological and other surveys conducted before finalizing the Dakota Access route.

 

In a memo, dated September 22, 2016, Paul R. Picha, the Chief Archaeologist of the State Historical Society of North Dakota wrote: In conclusion, the cultural resources inventory and inspection conducted and reported herein yielded no evidence of infractions to or violations of North Dakota Century Code § 23..06-27 with respect to disturbance of human remains.

 

Eight other pipelines currently run below Lake Oahe (the same location where this one is going in). In fact, existing pipelines have safely transported natural gas beneath Lake Oahe for more than 30 years.

 

The resident fake scientist seems to think that it will run "through" the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's water source.  That is factually incorrect.
