It will be able to transport over 520,000 barrels of oil per day. If constructed it is said to be an "economic boon."]]> 2018-08-23 11:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/274820297 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/274821293 The Standing Rock Native Americans claim that if the pipeline is built then it will destroy sacred land and religious sites that are important to them. Many other people say that it will leak into the water supply.]]> 2018-08-23 11:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/274821293 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/274879243 Besides the fact that a lot of oil will be transferred to refineries, there are still a lot of benefits for the pipeline in being built. Gas prices will be lowered, which is convenient for the majority of U.S citizens. It is also described to be a very environmentally friendly way of extracting oil to the market, as it won't require trucks and railroads in delivering crude oil.]]> 2018-08-23 14:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/274879243 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275016773 The trump administration is more focused on economy, and were for the Keystone XL pipeline.

The Obama administration doesn't want the oil to come out of the ground. Did not want the Keystone XL pipeline to be built.

As we can see, we have two political sides that have very different views. ]]> 2018-08-23 22:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275016773 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275019612 Many others, in North Dakota rely on the water supply the pipeline is going to be built under. They are concerned that the pipeline will leak into the water supply. ]]> 2018-08-23 22:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275019612 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275022855 The Standing Rock Native Americans aren't the only ones against it. Some farmers in Iowa are unhappy with the fact that the pipeline will be crossing through their land. All i can say to that is, Imminent domain. ]]> 2018-08-23 23:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275022855 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275023700 Another stake holder is the Army Corps of Engineering as they have put in 3.8 billion dollars into this project. ]]> 2018-08-23 23:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275023700 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275027428 Social media has brought the youth together to hate the pipeline construction. Trends I've seen in social media is that it takes a situation and exaggerates it to appeal to the feelings of their audience. It never seems to give the facts.]]> 2018-08-23 23:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275027428 jcrumbo https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275028051 After looking at plans and diagrams of the pipeline. I don't know why people would be against the construction of it.
1. It avoids going through the Standing Rock Reservation. Meaning they won't be affected by it.
2. It will be going under the water supply, meaning the chances of it contaminating the water is very low. (And there are other pipelines closer to the surface that haven't caused any trouble with the water supply)
3. A pipeline is VERY environmentally friendly. As now the chances of trucks and trains crashing and catching on fire wasting all that oil is reduced.]]> 2018-08-24 00:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jcrumbo/moinmbnce38y/wish/275028051
