The Dakota Access Pipeline brings in so much oil into the United States contributing to so much carbon emmisions.

Oil and Gas run tons of things in the country and with the current gas and oil prices we need more of it to make it affordable to drive while electrical cars are in the making, aswell lithium will cause bad too in the long run
I believe that the Dakota Access Pipeline is bad for our environment because it has leaked several times causing contamination in our environment and disrupting the drinking water line.
@9FG79ZX2yrs2Y
I live in the area this would affect and it would make a lot of the farmland unusable for several years if something went wrong it could be really bad for people in that area

It's not our land and on top of that it's land that's sacred to the Dakota and Native American population.
@9FJ9MJH2yrs2Y
I think it should be stopped as most reservations in these areas don't have enough money to fix their water lines and make it healthier and cleaner. This oil can kill off the Native Americans living in these areas.
@9FQ4N2C2yrs2Y
The Standing Rock Sioux, other tribes, and environmental groups oppose the pipeline because of the greenhouse gas emissions from oil that it carries, and concerns that a spill would contaminate state and tribal drinking water.

The Dakota Access Pipeline will destroy Native American Land. Today, there is not much land Native Americans own, we should permanently preserve the land. The pipeline would kill Native Americans' fresh water in that area. It is crucial to keep these lands stable. The Dakota Access Pipeland could destroy Sioux historical and religious sites.
You may say that the Dakota Access pipeline would be beneficial however, using an underwater pipeline to transport oil is not a good idea because it can cause pollution in the ocean causing our planet to die even quicker.

While opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline cite environmental and indigenous land rights concerns, proponents argue that the pipeline provides essential energy infrastructure that reduces reliance on more environmentally damaging methods of transport (like trucking or rail). Additionally, the pipeline is said to create jobs and boost the economy. With proper environmental protections, including oversight and monitoring, it can be argued that the pipeline serves as a necessary part of energy security for the country.

The Dakota access pipeline is being built upon Native American property and the government does not have the power to do such
