- 1. Dakota Access Pipeline By Sam Tyrell
- 2. Overview of the Dakota Access Pipeline pipeline The pipeline will stretch 1,168-mile from North Dakota to Illinois Takes oil from the Bakken fields of North Dakota to refineries in Illinois Will transport over 570,000 gallons of oil per day The projected is being financed by Wall St banks
- 4. The Dispute Members of Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota staged protests near Cannon Ball to stop the construction of the Dakota access pipeline. Reasons for the protests The pipeline endangers their water supply The pipeline cuts through sacred barrel sites Work has stopped on the twenty-mile stretch of land that is being in questioned.
- 6. Arguments for the pipeline The pipeline will contribute millions of dollars into local and state revenues and generate an estimated $129 million annually in property and income taxes. It will create 8,000 to 12,000 jobs The pipeline’s location is not technically on standing rock’s reservation grounds.
- 7. Arguments against the pipeline Extreme Environmental concerns A leak could affect millions of people The project is cutting through sacred barrel grounds Standing Rock’s members were never consulted with about the project.
- 8. MY TAKE and prediction Economic consideration: North Dakota has been hurt by the oil glut and this seems like a good opportunity to create and stabilize North Dakota’s economy. I think there needs to be an agreement reached with the Standing Rock Tribe. Living on the Missouri river I am a bit nervous about the possibility of a leak so I would hope that all cautions are taken into consideration. My prediction: there will be a will a settlement involving a nice lump some of money and the pipeline will be built as originally planned.
- 9. Questions After hearing the facts about this case, do you think the pipeline should be built? What would a utilitarian think of the pipeline?
