The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has always opposed this offer, however the resistance only gained power in late 2016 when thousands of protesters, many of which are Native Americans, gathered to block the 1,200 - mile project.]]> 2018-08-16 16:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/273531913 jgodzwa https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/273534553 Although the pipeline doesn't directly cross the Standing Rock's territory, it does go through federally controlled water crossings.

It would also keep the prices of products, such as gasoline, much much lower. In addition, it will also create up to 28,000 new jobs]]> 2018-08-21 16:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274349195 jgodzwa https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274620213 For this $3.8 billion project, there are quite a few investors who would prefer to see the project succeed. Among these include, the pipeline company itself, Energy Transfer Partners (ETC), a Fortune 500 oil and natural gas company, they, along with Sunoco Logistics Partners and Phillips 66, are the main owners of the pipeline. The Governor of North Dakota, Jack Dalrymple, urged ETC to build more pipelines to keep up with the other large oil producing states such as Texas.]]> 2018-08-22 16:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274620213 jgodzwa https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274826974 Among those hoping the pipeline succeeds, they are many looking forward to it's demise and failure. These include, but are not limited to: The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe chairman, Dave Archambault II, he has been arrested in numerous peaceful protests against the pipeline and has led the fight against the oil company. Along with the Tribe itself, thousands of regular US citizens and those of over 200 different tribes from across the nation have come to protest and even more have donated to support the cause, gaining over $1 million through crowdfunding.]]> 2018-08-23 12:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274826974 jgodzwa https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274827218 With the numerous delays and protests, how much has ETC lost in possible revenue? They had initially had a goal of ending construction by the end of 2016, however numerouus delay have lost the company nearly $1.4 billion from the first year of delays. ]]> 2018-08-23 12:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274827218 jgodzwa https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274828634 What motivated all the younger generation to protest against the pipeline?

I do support the freedom to peacefully protest and commend the Standing Rock Tribe for doing so, however, I do believe that the government and the ETC have every right to be building the pipeline where it is currently located because it does not cross reservation land and it would not affect their water supply. It will be completely underground so it won't even be an eye sore once it's finished. It will supply the country with more affordable power that will only benefit ]]> 2018-08-23 12:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jgodzwa/t24wt3v9fi5t/wish/274831491
