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.
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident
@8X2XSGM1yr
No, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land and the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain
No, but try to be as careful of the Native areas as possible.
@98XSTW63 days
A difficult situation for sure, once again I'm not comfortable weighing in with a governmental or political opinion. The divine government that I put my faith in, however, will ultimately solve both issues.
@98XJSK23 days
ion even know what that means
yes, they shouldn't be able to go through Native American land
@98TM5LS1wk
Yes and Ban Factory Farming.
@98TDQ871wk
No. I believe that the Dakota pipeline should not be stopped, it should be finished and protected greatly as the Dakotans can use this pipeline as a very efficient source of energy for the future.
No but also do not seize private property
No, but only if the project can be rerouted away from Native American land, and fines are increased for incidents that harm the environment
@98RHJZX2wks
No, pipelines are cleaner safer, and more effective
@98Q4JX72wks
No, unless the owners of the land prohibits access.
No but we must reroute it out of native lands and use materials to prevent leakage
@98PGP393wks
Yes, because the minimum damage to the environment the better the results of balancing out with people and nature, with out causing a war or something between each other.
@98P644X3wks
No, but drastically increase the amount of fines the company has to pay in an accident, and bring it away from Native American land.
Yes, and the government should not build anything on Native American land without permission
@98MZBVH3wks
Yes, the U.S. government has no right to put anything on sovereign Native American land
@98L3CZB4wks
Yes, but not because the pipeline may hurt the environment. Instead because it goes through sacred holy lands owned by Native American Indians
@98H46SQ1mo
Regardless, the arbitration of this matter should be determined by judges at the state level.
@98GG9GX1mo
Yes, the government should never be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain, and nationalize the energy sector and shift our reliance to nuclear and fission energy
@98G63921mo
Yes, but reroute the pipeline away from Native American land and drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident
I don't really know much about the topic
@98F4VKY2mos
No invest in greener alternatives
@98DSKBQ2mos
Yes, the government shouldn't be allowed to acquire land by eminent domain and the number of fines the company must pay should drastically increase in the event of an accident.
@98CMBTS2mos
No, but it should be more safe, especially in areas that could be easily poisoned such as water sources
@98BM5SY2mos
I’m am unaware of what the Dakota access pipeline is
@93RZVS92mos
Yes but make sure the pipeline is rerouted away from native land.
@98B2DK62mos
No, and all lands given to Indians should be removed from them.
Yes, the pipeline has too great of a potential to pollute the water supply for Native American tribes who reside on the surrounding land
@98B2DK62mos
So called Indian land should be taken away. It's racist to allow them to have anything because of their race.
Yes, and should ignore tar sands oil
Don't be stupid with it like you can just go back from it. Build it like a whole ecosystem depends on it because it does, if it leaked there would be bigger problems disregarding having an independent country.
No, but have it rerouted away from the Native American's land and drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident
They should try to stop it and start looking towards more renewable sources of energy. Temporarily, the pipeline can continued to be constructed for now.
It should get no help from government, but rather fully privatized
Yes, and end access to extraction and exportation of US resources by foreign or multinational companies.
No, but reroute it away from Native American land, and drastically increase the amount of fines the company must pay in the event of an accident
@985F23V2mos
No but we should reroute it away from native lands and upgrade it to prevent leakage
@92M4Y7V2mos
no but stop use it in the future
@984DTCM2mos
Yes, but try to make the world more environmentally friendly.
@984BLKV2mos
No, temporarily while we convert to less finite energy sources.
@98495DN2mos
Yes, and the government should pay reparations for harms already caused by construction to this point. Mni wiconi!
@983DVK52mos
No, but reroute the pipeline away from Delicate land.
@983DP6L2mos
I do not have a preference.
@9838SCV2mos
Yes, and the process of acquiring eminent domain should be rarely (if ever) used.
