Those who are in opposition of the pipeline can only hope and attempt to persuade the BC government to join the huge majority of British Columbian’s in demanding a stop to the construction and operation of the Enbridge Northern Gateway
In my opinion I am against the pipeline. The negative effects out way the positives of the pipeline. To begin with, there isn't a real need for the pipeline, so why spend billions of dollars on a pipeline that isn't needed. The cost of the pipeline is extremely high whereas the pipeline might not actually be worth that much to the residents here. There would be taxes and fees that the residents and the business owners would have to pay to pay for the pipeline that could be avoided.
The Dakota Access Pipeline is a underground oil pipeline. Part of the pipeline is on Native American territory. To get access to the pipeline, burial grounds of the Natives Americans would have to be annihilated, going against the tradition of Native American culture. In the article,”
Kristi Loper, Thank you for keeping me informed and reminding me about my commitment. I would love to receive more information from the Southern Asia Pipeline about service opportunities during the summer of 2018. Due to the fact that I am currently enrolled in a mission trip to share the good news of Christ with the children of Taiwan this summer. However, I would like to start searching for next summer 's mission trip now. This experience of finding and funding a mission trip has taught me a lot.
Rachele Liba Professor Whitehead POSC 100 22 July 2016 Placing a Price on a Green Nation Having lived a nomadic lifestyle across the United States, I have had the opportunity to witness the wonders of our flourishing society and the everyday turmoils that we face. Rigorous innovation has helped Americans fulfill countless dreams, however with every gift there is a usually a price-tag or opportunity cost. Now in the midst of the general presidential election, platforms that represent our beliefs can undergo much needed reform to address the opportunity costs that were surpassed in the process of success. Among the various problems found in our society, a key movement that has raised necessary controversy has to do with environmental policy.
Even though the section goes on to say that if an Indian is occupying the said construction area, they will “be supplied with sufficient quantity of water for irrigating and domestic purposes,” I still don’t believe that it is fair because the construction is disrupting their daily lives; they also didn’t have a say in if they wanted a pipe there in the first place (Blum, Gjerde, and Hoffman, 47). All in all, I believe this act during the Reconstruction period was a failure in the sense of inconsideration. Although I believe that the Reconstruction era had many failures, it would be biased to say
As Kitson (2009) notes, "the hydropower projects, in many ways, represented a new form of colonization, as indigenous peoples were excluded from the decision-making process and bore the brunt of the social and environmental impacts of the dams" (p. 630). This lack of consultation and collaboration with Native American communities during the planning and approval of hydropower projects has been a significant challenge in mitigating their impacts. In fact, as Deloria and Lytle (2011) explain, "the United States government, which had a trust responsibility to protect tribal lands and resources, had approved the dam without consulting the tribal nations that would be most affected by it" (p.
They were worried that the pipeline could contaminate water, as well as destroy sacred land. Other Native American tribes also realized that “the Standing Rock Sioux had not been adequately consulted about the route of the pipeline” (Hersher 2). The next problem arrived after President Trump was elected. The Native Americans were relieved when Obama ended the project, but weeks into Trump's’ presidency he re-opened the project.
Due to the archaeologists failing to see the real problem with both the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Great Planes Expanse, the US government is already budding heads with the Native Americans, which could lead to future problems with them. The roads that are built to boost the economy not only help today’s society, but they run through Native American land which was promised to them and is not supposed to be touched by the US
The Dakota Access Pipeline has also been the center of our news and I wanted to incorporate it into my task 1. The final stanza of the poem discusses this by saying, “They come for our water, our land, our graves, our pride. We protest with our brothers and sisters of different tribes, it will hurt us all.” By discussing conflicting and changing societal norms, and contrasting them to the Native American ideology, my poem helps all people understand why the Dakota Access Pipeline is such a sacrilegious act to the Native American people due to the misuse of water.
“Benefits of Governmental Compromise Regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline” Nations all have unique governments and differences necessary for demonstrating successful leadership. Every country needs different assistance from their leadership, such as Rio requiring infrastructure or Somalia lacking political power. Some governments concern themselves with their politicians’ well-being more so than the people they lead, which creates a relevant problem in America. The United States Government can easily forget about Native American Reservations, or even ignore the people living on them. Recently, the United States Army Corps of Engineers has worked on the Dakota Access Pipeline project, which would cross over Native American ancestral lands,
One of America’s most controversial issues today is the border between the United States and Mexico. The big part of the issue is due to illegal immigration, which is when foreigners enter the U.S. without an entry or an immigrant visa. President Trump says he has found a solution, otherwise known as the “border wall,” but this will not stop people from wanting a better life. Of course I get why he and others would want to continue the process obviously to keep us safe from terrorists and other dangers of the world, but, to every pro there is a con. Even though the fence along the U.S./Mexico border is already being built, it should not continue being built because it is expensive, hurts the environment, and immigration rates have significantly dropped.
Thankfully, the protesters achieved success and the president vetoed the building of the pipeline. All of these influential people have fought ridiculously hard for their rights; however, they fought a bloodless revolution with wise, nonviolent actions instead of using ruthless violence. Ultimately, there are many past leaders in history that
TAPS transports 17% of the United State’s domestic petroleum. If the pipeline were to stop, “A loss of that production would increase prices by at least 10 to 16 percent” (Balan). This is very important, as the majority of the American population is in constant need of these resources. A shift this dramatic in the economy would lead to outrage and possible changes in economic inflation. All in all, the Trans Alaska pipeline has provided for a great number of people and has not failed to let them down.
