US Army Corp of Engineers: Dakota Pipeline to be re-routed

[oxymoronic]

More than 3000 incidents with pipelines since 2010 in the US isn´t a real problem? Damn you americans surely hate your country.

So who are these people living in reservations?

any idea what constitutes an incident? how many miles of pipes does america have?

[Espe]

I am neither right wing

LOL more jokes

For the official record I don't give a shit about this pipeline, the Indians, the vets, the police, or otherwise.

That doesn't surprise me in the least.

one if the most partisan posters in this board

Talking to yourself in a mirror again there super spy?

All jokes aside, I thought this was interesting, if not completely predictable considering the fact that he would profit directly from it:

Trump to review Dakota pipeline ruling

Again, I am not sure why you are quoting me. I am neither right wing nor do I recall even participating in this thread since it was created? I got some random notification I was mentioned in this thread and here I am.

Sorry, Titan. For some reason I thought I remembered you were a vet. I suppose I confused you with someone else. My apologies, sir.

They will move it a mile upstream and finish it quietly before anyone notices.

exactly the only reason it was going where it was is they were building a second pipeline next to the one that was already there and has been there for a few decades and the tribe has never complained about that one once.

Why should he even be allowed to do it?

Thoughts? I, for one, am glad that the Corps was willing to rethink their stance after all this time. Goes to show that public pressure can have an effect.

Except their source of water is upriver of the already rerouted once crossing, so it's a falsehood to state their water supply could be affected by a spill.

For the same reason Obama had the right to take back drilling rights in the Arctic Ocean.

No idea if he got any monetary gain from it, so still wondering why a president is allowed to use his power for obvious personal gain.

No big deal on the original "mention" I received I was just scratching my head. I even went back through the thread to make sure I had not posted something and forgot about it. lol

Espe on the other hand is just up to his usual bigoted antics. So nothing new there. He'll get banned, again, sooner or later for trolling.

It was posted a few pages ago, right around when i quoted you.

Can't wait to see what the guy with a direct financial stake in the matter decides.

I feel my fellow veterans involved with the protest are ill informed, although well intentioned.

Mad respect to the vets who went out to Standing Rock to protect the protesters. Did you consider going as well?

and you still think there is a problem, even with the numbers? idk man i was hoping i was leading you somewhere but i dont think you could possibly ever get there.

"Based on data from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), an arm of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the number of significant pipeline incidents grew 26.8 percent from 2006 to 2015. A significant incident is defined as one that results in serious injury or fatality, costs more than $50,000, releases more than five barrels of volatile fluids such as gasoline or 50 barrels of other liquids, or results in a fire or explosion. In 2015, there were 326 such incidents—almost one per day. "

"Some 55 percent of the U.S. network of 135,000 miles of pipeline is more than 45 years old. Technology designed to detect pipeline leaks is highly unreliable, even though companies like Colonial Pipeline tout their use as a way "to insure safe operations." But a recent Reuters report found that these technologies are "about as successful as a random member of the public" finding a leak. Of 466 incidents studied by Reuters, only 22 percent, or 105, were detected by advanced detection systems. The others were found in different ways, with the public finding 99 of the leaks."

"In testimony before a House subcommittee earlier this year, Carl Weimer, executive director of the watchdog group Pipeline Safety Trust, said, "Under the current statutes there is no requirement that a pipeline company obtain any permit or permission to operate a pipeline in this country." Weimer called on Congress to require PHMSA to issue permits for interstate transmission pipelines and ensure that the company follow all rules and regulations. "

Nope, there´s not a problem, there are a number of problems.

Hopefully Trump does something about this in January.

Would you feel the same way if they were trying to build it through YOUR backyard?

He sold his shares already

[Shadowferal]

Opponents seek to tie up Dakota pipeline for years

Time will tell us where Trump thinks and does about it all.

He sold his stock in the Pipe business in question.

Really, they can move it where ever the fuck they want, it'll still be on Native Land.

This whole issue is nonsense, imo. If it wasn't Natives who were pissed, nobody would pay any attention to some jerk that refused money to have a pipeline built on his land, then gets upset when it's put on someone else's land. This pipeline does not affect them in ANY way, other than they didn't get the money.
