Do you understand we have been running petroleum across this aquifer for decades in many pipelines without the problems the environmentalist have dreamed up?
As best I can tell, there are no pipelines that run through the aquifer where it is more than 50 feet saturated thickness. If my map skills are correct, the pipeline will be running through 600-800 feet of saturated thickness.
Feel free to run the pipeline through our state, but let’s bend it around our state and country’s crucial groundwater.
By damn, run it thru Iowa. We’ll take it.
