A good friend of mine Gerald (Jerry Poole) wrote this short INFORMATION PAPER on the ND pipe line media story. ___--------NOTE ---- I am a professional oil and gas landman - my specialty is oil-gas-coal-mineral land title law. All laws from 1800s to today in WV, PA, AND OH.
Here is a map of -collection- pipelines in the U.S. Oil and Natural Gas. Pipelines from wells to a marketing point. There are 2.5million miles of Natural Gas collection lines alone in the U.S... This doesn't include -distribution- pipelines, the ones to your house from whomever you get Natural Gas.
Some facts the media is not telling you about the NDPipeline media-made fiasco.
-The original pipeline route did have a small portion proposed to cross the actual reservation. The route was changed after the Indians turned down $40million. The pipeline does not cross the reservation. It does cross Federal Lands adjacent to the reservations.
-Public meetings were held (as nearly the entirety of the 4 states crossed is privately owned land) ...and the Indians were formally/publicly invited 7 times and did not respond. All before any construction began AND after they turned down money to actually cross the reservation.
-The reason the police are involved is because property is being destructed, people assaulted, and shots fired - by the protesters - not ALL of them, I hear about 10%. The pipeline "right-of-way" is the property of the company building the pipeline. And, more than likely, the land is still owned by the LANDOWNERS. They were paid for the "Right-of-Way"
-Every pipeline on the map crosses a waterway. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
-There are State and Federal Inspectors there all along the way. Just because the Indians "claim" certain things does not make them so. If ANYTHING archeological would be stumbled upon - the inspectors would immediately halt operations.
-the other pic is the a depiction of the last generation of human that used NO Fossil Fuels... the only other form of reliable, inexpensive form of energy is nuclear.
-It ain't wind and it ain't solar - expensive, unreliable. Creates worse problems at two to three times the price... the mining pick ain't coal - that's for lithium - how you store the energy from the unreliable energy sources. There is NO math equation that makes it a worthwhile path.
-Lastly, the pipeline across the 4 states it crosses is complete, except for N.D. - and this George Soros funded "protest"...
