Yes, and plenty of leftist idiots in the debate in "comments" following the article. I especially like the winning point on the pro-side, that the complaining farmers have already done a pretty good job of depleting and contaminating the Ogallala Aquifer with agricultural practices.

This basically consists of injecting anhydrous ammonia at the well head and then spraying it into the air over the monoculture corn crop....millions of gallons every day throughout the growing season.

They've done far more damage to the water supply than any pipeline breach could cause.
