The fact that local residents do not want the pipeline built shows it should not be built. Also once oil leases are sold, they cannot take it back. If oil companies wanted to increase their production, they could re-open the 150 or so wells that were in operation pre-pandemic but have not been re-opened.
Correct you are. The rich folks up in Bismark didn't want it, and had the money to tie the oil companies up for years over this pipeline coming through. So they just decided to move it further south.
Almost every where a pipeline is projected, they face opposition. Even republicans.
