Hannah Keller Mrs. Gross English 9 December 20, 2016 Controversy On the Dakota Access Pipeline The stuff going on in North Dakota is crazy! There's so much more to the Access Pipeline than what most people know. There is more than what the average people are spreading to each other. Most people don't know both sides of the Dakota Access Pipeline. First, this pipeline would be used to transport tons of materials used for energy. It could be very resourceful for tons of Americans. The chaos involving this pipeline is the potential it could contaminate the nearby Sioux water supply. (Holly Yan) Next it even has the potential to run into ancient sacred and burial grounds. Even though this pipeline is highly believed to be one of the safest ways to transport the materials that are needed by Americans, there are many people against it. ("Standing Rock Fact Checker") The pipeline is being highly protested and debated. Next, the government really wants this pipeline to be built, it could lower prices. They have rerouted the pipeline so it doesn't cross reservation land. ("Standing Rock Fact Checker") The Tribe don't believe the pipeline should not be built. Also, they have started to protest not so peacefully. They are highly against the pipeline and it's starting to show through acts of violence. They're have been …show more content…
Also along the lines if it should even be built. The pipeline can run into scared grounds, or even contaminate they're water. Although, Pipelines are thought to be safe they're is always the thought about if something was to go wrong. There have been 8 pipelines built across the Missouri River. ("Standing Rock Fact Checker") Even though the construction to the pipeline has started it has ended. They have reversed the call about the pipeline, it will either be redebated under the Trump administration, or relocated. Either way this will be highly reviewed under the Trump
The Dakota Access Pipeline is a problem for the natives, but obviously not for us Americans. Energy transfer quote that “Some protesters stayed overnight what looked like dog kennels and were let out in the morning”. This is why we need to stop the construction of this pipeline because it could leak and contaminate the water, the pipeline would be going through sacred grounds, and we need to stop the violence against the native protesters.
Many people are taking a stand with the Standing Sioux tribe to stop the construction of an oil pipeline. Worland addresses this issue by informing readers the recent facts about the Dakota Access Pipeline. Many protesters are using this opportunity to address other issues that Pipeline will create in the long run. Meanwhile, the Energy Transfer Partners company will not let protesters stop the construction from happening. The construction still continues despite the current Administration’s request for a pause. As a result, the fight between the Standing Rock Sioux and Energy Transfer Partners has sparked warmth throughout the bitter North Dakota
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota has made headlines throughout the US because of their reaction to what they feel is a threat to not only their sacred lands but also the water source of the whole tribe, along with many others. The construction of an oil pipeline going through North and South Dakota while going under the Missouri River has caused this major controversy. This pipeline that is soon being built has been a project that was halted before by the past president Obama in late 2016. The project called Bakken or better known as the Dakota Access Pipeline, is being built by Energy Transfer Partners. This is a 3.8 billion dollar oil pipeline that would stretch over 1,100 miles long through North
A new rising issue is the North Dakota Access Pipeline v. Native American tribe, Standing Rock. The main reason for the pipeline is to transport crude oil through four states more safely than the current way of transporting it through 750 railroad cars daily. In the same fashion, the pipeline will convert the 750 carts to 470,000 barrels of crude oil traveling 1,172 miles a day. Under those circumstances, the line will start in Montana, traveling through North Dakota reaching Canada, then heading southeast to South Dakota and finishing up in Illinois. On the positive side, it will make 374.3 million gallons per day, resulting in giving America an economic boom. The pipeline project is predicted to be a $3.7 billion investment and producing
The Dakota Access Pipeline is controversial topic among people as to whether its installment is a good thing or a bad thing. This is comparable to the Keystone XL oil pipeline, whose construction, after seven years of protest, was finally canceled. But before any conclusions on the Dakota pipeline's fate can be made, one must take a look at both side or the story.
Protect the native’s land and the planet! The Dakota Pipeline project is not going to be as beneficial as it’s made out to be. “It’s a 3.7 billion dollar project that would cross four states. The results could be an economic boon that makes the country more self-sufficient or an environmental disaster that destroys sacred Native American sites” (Yan). Construction of the Dakota pipeline does not only violate the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, but implementing this pipeline will release more pollution, risk contamination of the water supply, and provide temporary jobs.
One of the most controversial issues faced nowadays is the way we deal with the transport of oil. One of the proposed methods is The Keystone XL Pipeline. Although there are some pros associated with building the pipeline, the risk outweighs the benefits by far. Building the Keystone XL pipeline would negatively affect the environment, jeopardize the public health and is to no benefit to the American people.
Have you heard about the protest going on about the North Dakota Pipelines? Encase you haven't here is some information and views on it. First who’s fighting? Well, that simple members from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, well that’s how it started off anyways, now there is several hundred Native Americans from all over the country. Since April they have been gathering outside of Cannon Ball to protest.
For the most part, everyone is pretty familiar with the Dakota Access Pipeline and the protests that surround it. A 1,172 mile pipeline project
The Dakota Access Pipeline is a large effort to take oil-rich resources in North Dakota and bring them through Dakota to Illinois. There is a lot of recently discovered
“’An old Sioux prophecy says that a black snake will come to destroy the world at a moment of great uncertainty,’ he said. ‘Unless the youth stop it’” (Enzinna 35). The Standing Rock Sioux tribe believe the “black snake” has arrived in the form of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a pipeline that originates in North Dakota and stretches across four states. The pipeline is roughly 1,000 miles long and would carry up to 600,000 barrels of domestically produced oil each day. This pipeline would run above the surface, but at certain points would run under lakes and rivers. In the beginning of the year 2016, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a rough draft of its proposed plan to begin construction of the Dakota Access
Ultimately, the Dakota Access Pipeline will only harm the people and environment. It will be seen as disrespect to Native Americans, release excessive amount of carbon into the atmosphere, and cause even more violent protests. This can all be resolved be rerouting the pipeline to go around the sacred burial site. Our Native Americans are a part of our country too, we wouldn’t want our peace with them to be disrupted for a simple
Native Americans are being disrespected, harmed, and their homeland is being taken from them. Am I talking about events taken place centuries ago? No, because these unfortunate circumstances yet again are occurring right here, now, in the present. This horrid affair has a name: The Dakota Access Pipeline. This Pipeline is an oil transporting pipeline, which is funded by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, who have devised a plan for the pipeline to run through the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. However, unfortunately, this pipeline will run straight through the reservation of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe, expressing their distress for the pipeline have said, that the pipeline will be “Destroying our burial sites, prayer sites, and culturally significant artifacts,” Arguments for the pipeline however have tried to counter this claim, trying to emphasize that “The pipeline wouldn 't just be an economic boon, it would also significantly decrease U.S. reliance on foreign oil”, and that the pipeline is estimated to produce “374.3 million gallons of gasoline per day.”, which could help the sinking oil economy. (Yan, 2016) However, despite the economical growth it could achieve, the Dakota Access Pipeline could have damaging environmental effects on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the areas surrounding.
The Dakota Access Pipeline was proposed in 2014 as a method of transportation for domestically produced crude oil. It is planned to run from North Dakota, through South Dakota and Iowa, arriving in Illinois. The pipeline is an efficient means of transportation of this oil, but the negatives outweigh the positives. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says the pipeline is passing through some of their lands. The tribe also claims the construction will disturb sacred land, and affect the reservation’s drinking water. The archeological firms hired by the DAP have argued that they were not aware that it was a part of the tribe’s land. The
Means of torture have been used around the world for a number of years. At one point in time it had been terminated in the United States; however, after the events of September 11, 2001, it has come back as an acceptable way to acquire information from terrorists.
