They should step aside and let the grown ups get busy.
Indians have never improved anything, ever.
I was at Alcatraz with family last weekend. They trashed that place, too.

There's still some of the "child of the 1960s" in me, sitting in an audience spellbound by Buffy Sainte Marie, outraged by just how bad the feds can be. The pipeline shouldn't be on native lands which the tribes own by treaty. Isn't there somewhere such as along interstates where pipelines could be built that don't destroy the environment or culturally sensitive areas?
That being said, it is true that solar and especially wind create a lot more problems than they solve.

Yeh...they live in teepees...
Never knew teepees had attached garages.
To: Kaslin
The corps found the pipeline presented no major threats the environment or tribal cultural sites. Yet, instead of accepting science and keeping their word, the same tribes that effectively gave their blessings to the project threw a tantrum. Hypocrites.

They should stop blowing up those little green propane canisters too.

Hey, you think a prison island is trashed out; have you seen what southeast Oklahoma looks like since they let white guys and their trailer houses move into Indian Territory? Just sayin’.

Those tribes initially gave the OK to build across their land.
Sorry, but they have no complaint.

“such as along interstates”
I lived 1/2 mile from a pipeline blowout and you don’t want to be around when there’s a problem. What could possibly go wrong with placing it next to an interstate?

When you say “those tribes gave permission” do you mean that some leaders sold out or that a majority of tribe members voted for it?

Those were the good old days. Too bad all that peace and love was perverted by leftists into politics.

The pipeline shouldn't be on native lands which the tribes own by treaty. I don't think this pipeline is actually being built on (or under) any native lands.

What could go wrong along an interstate?I thought about that when I made the suggestion. So where do you put it? I do not agree with messing up the environment or historic/heritage sites for construction projects. I wonder how many of these pipelines go through the country clubs and estates of the elite who make these decisions.
This is a problem that hasn't been solved. Perhaps part of the answer is to build factories, commercial, and residential users of electricity closer to the source.

Is it being built under sacred lands that have traditionally been left undeveloped because of that?

I don’t believe it even goes through their reservation.
To: grania
If people would do their research they would see that this pipeline does not go through Indian lands.. they just think it’s too close and may someday affect their water.

With the Indians, protesting usually winds up with a cash settlement to shut them up....even though they are not entitled to a dime.
They need to start living in the present.
