[QUOTE="weedy1, post: 134980, member: 1299"] shorthairsrus, You definitely understood me wrong if you think I am anti-pipeline. I am pro-DAPL 100%. My point in bringing up the Tesoro pipeline through Bismarck was to show that non-Native communities have to deal with pipelines and some locations the pipelines carry materials much more hazardous than the DAPL. It just bugs me that the propaganda being spread by the protestors make it sound as if the SRST is being singled out for punishment. There are plenty of additional water crossings along the DAPL route where a spill would impact many more people than those on SRST. Reports make it sound as if a leak in the line would severely impact their DRINKING water. With the hook-up to the new plant at Mobridge any leak, however improbable, would be mitigated by the 70 mile distance. Crossing the Missouri north of Bismarck/Mandan would not provide this same buffer distance to any municipal water supply and would impact 10 times the population it would on SRST. So, when risk is discussed, it can be tied to distance and population numbers. Not native or non-native. [/QUOTE]
