The point of the pipeline is to transport crude oil that way it is accessible on the gulf coast and east coast. The pipeline project was approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers. While they approved the Native American Sioux tribes disagreed and stood in the way of construction. It is a $3.7 billion dollar project.]]> 2018-08-16 16:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/273535413 bcobb31 https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/273535517 Pros: It will decrease US reliance on foreign countries for oil. It will free up railway space.
Cons: It will destroy the Sioux tribe groups environment. It will destroy their burial sites and tear areas of their culture apart.]]> 2018-08-16 16:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/273535517 bcobb31 https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275252305 The pipeline starts in North Dakota and runs all the way through until it gets to Illinois. The Army Corps engineers approved this project and Dnald Trump approves of it]]> 2018-08-24 19:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275252305 bcobb31 https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275255817 There were several issues that caused problems. One main issue is that it was tearing apart Sioux tribes culture. It was destroying their environment and community. It was leaving the people homeless with nowhere to go. Another issue is that it could contaminate the water supply in the Mississippi river and leaving people with unsafe water. They could not shower or even drink from the water supply if the oil somehow got into it.]]> 2018-08-24 19:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275255817 bcobb31 https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275260012 I think that they should not continue with the pipeline project for many reasons. One reason is the cost, it is so expensive and has so many risks along with it such as contaminating the water supply. Another reason is it is forcing the people of the Sioux tribe to move without any warning or anywhere to go. It is destroying their homes and separating people from their families. Police have said that they have arrested 140 people in one day ]]> 2018-08-24 19:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275260012 bcobb31 https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275261956 Obama left this major topic for Donald Trump. Obama didn't agree with the the pipeline project while Donald Trump does want to continue with it and has even invested into it. Obama's administration blocked the pipeline project which angered Trump and his allies.,]]> 2018-08-24 20:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bcobb31/bf3vb37093hy/wish/275261956
