This project will also cost the U.S a sizable $3.7 billion. This creation will make us more self reliant with oil and can potentially increase our economy. While the government is moving onward with the operations, many people are protesting about this pipeline due to the fact that it will cut through the homes of many Native Americans.]]> 2018-08-24 02:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275053663 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275058634 The Pipeline would travel  1,172 mi, crossing 4 states and cross multiple territories like Dene, Creek Nations, the Omaha, Ho-chunk, and Panka tribes to name a few. ]]> 2018-08-24 03:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275058634 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275399828 On the side that supports the Dakota Pipeline namely Trump and other businesses want the Pipeline to be built because it would greatly increase America's economy and boost our self reliance. The side that opposes the pipeline which includes Native Americans and nature activists. The reasons for their opposition is due to the fact the the pipeline will run through multiple territories and fear for pollution, accelerated climate change, and the fact that there's a high probable chance of a spill occurring.]]> 2018-08-26 22:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275399828 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275400988 Though there are many things to benefit from a pipeline of this magnitude, the drawbacks are just as large, if not bigger. This project will definitely displace many Native Americans life style, affect local ecosystems, and will add to more pollution. On the pros side this pipeline will keep the prices of gasoline cheap, creates jobs for American's, and will give an expected $55 million in tax revenue. This will benefit the middle class American and many businesses.]]> 2018-08-26 22:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275400988 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275401937 The main difference between the administrations is that Trump is/was a businessman, and this investment to him is a logical one, because this will help the economy. Obama, on the other hand, probably thought about the things it would affect in the long run rather than just the profit of it all.]]> 2018-08-26 22:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275401937 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275402878 Social media is a great way to get your voice heard my a mass of people, but can come with many challenges. One of these  challenges are bots. These things can be mass produced to support one side without anyone actually supporting the cause. Nonetheless, it's probably the biggest & best way to get the people in charge to hear our voice.]]> 2018-08-26 22:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275402878 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275403794 There are many reasons why youth activists were motivated to stand against the juggernaut known as the American government. In this case it was to show that the pipeline would do more harm than good. Another issue that was important to the youth groups is that the pipeline is basically saying that we don't care about the environment, and to that many people youths had something to say about it.]]> 2018-08-26 23:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275403794 achowdhury3 https://padlet.com/achowdhury3/k76s26b1wvxq/wish/275406525 Although it's true that the pipeline would greatly boost the country's economy greatly, it seems to me a very short term goal with long term repercussions.
