The controversy around the pipeline has to do with the construction of the pipeline near the Standing Rock tribe's grounds and the chance of a leak. The pipeline was denied by the Obama administration but it was then approved after President Trump took office.]]> 2018-08-23 15:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274899668 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274911770 2018-08-23 16:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274911770 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274913723 2018-08-23 16:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274913723 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274914678
• The pipeline will help the economy and create more jobs
 - The pipeline is expected to create 8,000 to 12,000 new jobs

• The construction of the pipeline will help the United States to become more energy independent
 - Reducing oil imports from outside sources lowers the United States' dependence on foreign energy

• The Dakota Access Pipeline will make the transporting of oil to major refining markets safer, cheaper, and better for the environment
 - Pipelines cause fewer spillage incidents and injuries than on the road or on rail]]> 2018-08-23 16:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274914678 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274914922
• The pipeline threatens the Sioux tribes' water supply and millions down stream
 - Originally the line was going to cross the Missouri, but it was rerouted upstream from the Sioux Tribe reservation 

• The pipeline is being built on sacred grounds
 - The land that the pipeline is being built on is owned by the Sioux tribe by the ¨1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie¨

• The Dakota Access Pipeline could worsen climate change
 - The pipeline would carry up to 570,000 gallons of oil a day. Which would produce upwards of 100 million metric tons of CO2 each year]]> 2018-08-23 16:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/274914922 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108369 2018-08-24 12:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108369 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108461 2018-08-24 12:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108461 ujohnson1 https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108520  ]]> 2018-08-24 12:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ujohnson1/f9kjla2t8mmx/wish/275108520
