Pipelines, who didn't
hear about them in 2016/17? Standing Rock Reservation,
the people who went there to help the Lakota in their
quest to stop a pipeline going through their land and
potentially leaking into their water? It was big news,
all over the World. The Lakota wanted to stop the Dakota
Access Pipe Line (DAPL) with prayer, the police and
army and Pipeline workers wanted it to go through by
using force. People helping and supporting the Lakota, the Lakota themselves,
were injured in various ways by the forces coming against
them. It was horrendous, and because of the uneven fight
people around the world supported the Lakota from Standing
Rock. President Obama in the end said NO to the Pipeline
and everyone thought it had gone away. Not so though,
Obama's tenure in the White House came to an end and
a new President took his place. Trump. he decided to
allow the pipeline to go through. Trouble brewed again,
but quieter this time. The camps are still there but
fewer people and not much publicity. I saw today (April
17th 2018) that a Pipeline is trying to come down
a different route, close by the Sisseton Reservation
in South Dakota, which is further east to where it was
planned for, so I don't know. I will continue to monitor
the happenings of DAPL and KXL.
2016: Great news! A
lawsuit by Bold Nebraska has resulted in a permanent
injunction against the law used to route Keystone XL
in Nebraska.
It's not clear what
that means for the whole process just yet -- but it's
definitely clear that TransCanada has another big headache
on their hands. Let's give them more trouble, shall
we?

The KXL will carry
un-refined tar sands from Canada that they propose
routing across America to a refinery, and then it will
be sold on, it will not be for the American Citizen's
benefit. Their water can be polluted, Ogallala
Aquifer, the people can die and for what? So the
US can sell the oil to other countries. So America gets
the money, the people can die, but no oil comes to America.
They whole situation is ludicrous. You cannot drink
oil!
This is the story
of just one Pipeline.
