Efforts to
continue construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline in spite of the concerns and
protests of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe have finally reached national consciousness
in the United States. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has been raising concerns about the pipeline for months. This blog has been
following the developments and concerns raised about the pipeline since March
of this year.
There is a
growing camp of supporters and protesters in North Dakota. There is also a law suit that has been filed, with a ruling
expected than “no laterthan Sept. 9 on a request by the Standing Rock Sioux to stop construction andreconsider permits the project has received.”
The comparisons
to the controversial Keystone XL pipeline are inevitable, with this story
noting that the Dakota Access pipeline is “quickly
emerging as a sort of Keystone XL Part 2.”
