RE: A Sustainability Dialogue: The Dakota Access Pipeline and Subjugation of Native Americans
Geee...this is the first time a pipeline EVER crossed a river? This is a brand new thing?
Geee...this is the first time a pipeline EVER crossed a river? This is a brand new thing?
My Question Is..
Is it Necessary?
Will Wait & See on This
For Now
The Construction has Been Halted
I'm certainly glad that Rail Road bridges don't go over the Missiouri River. According to the Federal Rail Road Administration the last year for which they had data indicated TOTAL ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS: 5,047 Number of fatal accidents/incidents 406 as opposed to the number of pipeline incidents.. well...less than twenty in [2016]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pipeline_accidents_in_the_United_States_in_the_21st_century)
There are twenty times more railroad accidents in a year than there are pipeline accidents in twenty years. So Naturally it wouldn't be wise to have a pipeline cross the river instead of (multiple) railway bridges.
oh wait...is that right?
