U.S. Halts Construction On Oil Pipeline In North Dakota After Protests

Green Is the Color of Their Daddies' Money

Increased domestic crude oil production translates into greater energy independence for the United States.
Although the United States is the third-largest producer in the world, we are the number one consumer of crude oil in the world. We need to close the gap between what we produce as a country and what we consume before we can be truly independent of foreign imports. While the U.S. produced 7.5 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2013, it still imported 7.7 million barrels per day in order to meet consumer demands. We need to close the gap between what we produce as a country and what we consume before we can be truly independent of foreign imports. Every barrel of oil produced in the United States directly displaces a barrel of foreign oil.
The North Dakota Bakken has witnessed a significant increase in the production of crude oil, from 309,000 barrels a day in 2010 to 1 million barrels a day in 2014. This energy will need reliable transportation networks to reach U.S. markets, and pipelines are the safest, most efficient means of accomplishing this task.
Local Economic Impact
The Dakota Access Pipeline is a $3.7 billion investment that will create 8,000 to 12,000 local jobs during construction. Millions of hours of labor will be needed during the construction phase, putting welders, mechanics, electricians, pipefitters, heavy equipment operators and others within the heavy construction industry to work. There will also be increased demand for those who manufacture the steel pipes, fittings, valves, pumps and control devices necessary for a major pipeline, and local economies along the route will feel direct impact through the expanded use of hotels, motels, restaurants, and other services.

  • The pipeline will translate into millions in state and local revenues during the construction phase and an estimated $129 million annually in property and income taxes.
  • The pipeline will generate an estimated $50 million annually in property taxes and nearly $74 million in sales taxes to the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois – for services to support schools, roads, emergency services and more.
The project will also address transportation strains in the Upper Midwest created by the dramatic increase in crude oil production in North Dakota. A lack of rail cars to move grain out of South Dakota has magnified the problem. Tariffs on grain railcars have increased from $50 to nearly $1,400 per car. These cost increases can carve up to $1.00 from every bushel of corn shipped. The Bakken Pipeline will help ease transportation shortages for agriculture and other industries.

Feralphile squawmen are rich kids whose Daddies bought them their government jobs or who live off trust funds so they can gallivant around the country destroying the future of the middle class. So appealing to any compassion they may have for those whose jobs have been lost shows a misunderstanding of whom you are dealing with. It is the sworn goal of the Preppy Progressives to destroy our economic future and make us dependent on the government.

Do you understand the term 'net exporter'? This isn't about energy independence. Oil prices only came down when Saudi Arabia flooded the market. Fracked oil did nothing to make us 'independent'.

It could have been so destructive.”

Endangered species are unfit species. It is our evolutionary duty to exterminate them. Mutant misfits who protect such vermin and vegetation are motivated by dark impulses.

Perhaps it is humans that are the evolutionary mistake? We account for every endangered species on Earth. It might be our duty to exterminate you, and those like you?

What do you think?

only the liberals have demonstrated the inability to survive without assistance........if we eliminate those the species will be just fine.......

I think. You obviously don't, which makes you primitive, superstitious, and obsolete.

I am not convinced that it would have done that much damage, gasoline is very volatile and the vast majority would just evaporate especially this time of the year.

You made all manner of excuses for the British polluters who killed 12 people and spilled oil into the Gulf of Mexico, too, you filthy fucking farang.

Incorrect. Humans are hardly 'the fittest'. They are, however, the smartest. That's the only reason we sit atop the food chain.

As such, you might consider exterminating yourself, and removing your inferior DNA from the gene pool.
