Re: When 10000 barrels of crude oil roll down your street
Plus, the oil companies are not concerned with safety, just their wallets. Otherwise, rail technology available decades ago would have been universally utilized. After all, these are the folks that have been gleefully lying for years about the AGW that will endanger all of us. We are in desperate times and our only option is radical action to force them to keep it in the ground by hitting them wherever they're vulnerable. If some folks can stop a pipeline, more power to them. Others affected by rail traffic better get off their asses to do the same.

Stop Trump from building the Dakota Access pipeline. #NoDAPL
Submit your comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
"The Dakota Access pipeline is a disaster waiting to happen. You must consider the threats it poses to to drinking water supplies, sacred sites and indigenous rights, the likelihood of oil spills along the entire length of the pipeline and the fact that it would exacerbate climate change. If the full range of threats are included in your environmental study, I’m confident you will determine that the Dakota Access pipeline must not be built."

The Army Corps of Engineers stopped the environmental review of the Dakota Access Pipeline and issued the final approval. People will die before this is over.

And yet the death toll could be greater otherwise. 47 people in Lac-Mégantic, killed by a train carrying North Dakota crude.
But yeah, ramming it through Sioux land is just wrong.

I meant that people may die in the protests. The other death and destruction comes later.

Just imagine, Monsanto lied and people died.
Another excellent reason to cut regulations on chemical companies

Could it be that exxon is using a soothing version of a child's nursery rhythm to endear them to the viewer.
I have long held that the ingrained Old MacDonald song was a big part of McDonald's success.

Exxon and others have been doing everything they can to discourage individual and local alternatives, like rooftop solar, so that they can still dominate the green tech when we make the inevitable transition away from fossil fuels. Meanwhile, they'll trumpet their relatively small investment in it.

In Victory for Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Court Finds That Approval of Dakota Access Pipeline Violated the Law
Victory: Ruling: Trump administration shortcut environmental review; Court seeks additional briefing on whether to shut down pipeline
I'm not sure what will happen if the now completed Standing Rock route, one created when white folks complained about the original route, is found to be environmentally unjustifiable in a court-approved review.

In case anyone thinks that natural gas pipelines are benign relative to oil pipelines:

In seven years, pipeline incidents have killed nearly 100 people nationwide.
