Native Americans, White Farmers Work To Block Proposed Carbon Pipeline In Dakotas



An NBC News investigation finds an unlikely alliance forming in the Dakotas between Native American Organizers and white farmers who are teaming up in an effort to block a proposed carbon pipeline. The project would be the largest of its type, spanning five years, and expected to cost nearly five billion dollars. Karla Hult from NBC News’ Minneapolis affiliate KARE has the story.

  1. Oil companies and frac companies have too bad records to trust them, when and is when not if something go wrong they just simple go out leaving a mess behind, see all that oil spills and pollutedrivers they leave behind.

  2. White farmers huh? Sounds racist

  3. People are such terrible fathers . Oil pays for cops pensions. Oil kills your children. Your a coward

  4. Better to stop using food for fuel.

  5. CO2 is good to release into the atmosphere! It’s good to help plants grow. This project is a total WASTE of time and resources!

  6. How much more is the government going to screw the native American Indians. American can't even build a pipeline that doesn't leak.

  7. It's all a lie ,why don't they put it under DC

  8. NBC views everything through the lens of race what’s that called again?

  9. What does bein white have to do with this

  10. What does race have to do with any of this seriously

  11. The top soil disturbance is a big problem

  12. Civil engineer, here.

    Keep your industrial hands off of native lands, children of colonists. If you do want to use NA lands badly enough, offer them a deal they will really love and offer them grassroots involvement in planning and in executing your plan.

    Anything less is exploitation.

  13. What will this ethanol do to the atmosphere sounds very corrosive to me

  14. native american graves? are you effin kidding me?

  15. I thought we were trying to eliminate combustion?

  16. Can't have it evil way global warming and people's worried about I'm sorry they're dead touching the ground because they want to store CO2 gases Underground what are we going to do when the war comes to our door depend on Joe yeah good luck

  17. Not even a drop in a bucket. Not sustainable at this day and age, unless you're big Corporation. In that case not surprised

  18. In place Underground? Constantly putting anything in the ground and saying it's enclosed until Infinity, you have lost your Forever Living mine. These people won't stop until they destroy everything. Dumb and Dumber, we didn't know that was going to happen

  19. Something about that pipeline just doesn't seem right. If they are just going to put the gas in the ground, why can't they put the gas directly under the plants creating it? And for that matter, is pumping all that gas underground even safe? How much has this been studied?

  20. the company will build the pipe line with guarantee*

    *guarantee is only for 3 year, after that, f u all

  21. enough bribe $$$ to the dirty politicians they can put the pipe up anyone they want.

  22. Wtf does it matter to point out its "white farmers"? Racist left strikes again.

  23. All this complications will not be a problem, what the World's needs is a slow down on Populations Growths where less Energy is needed and this should be the most important TOPIC at the United Nation's where all heads of Nation's STOP SQUABBLING WITH EACH OTHER AND SENDS YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN TRENCHES TO FIGHT BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A COUNTRY AN OTHER, AFTER MANY LIVES LOST WHERE THE GROUNDS IS SATURATED WITH BLOOD PEACE TREATISES IS SIGN CHAMPAIGN GLASSES IS CLINK THE DIEING OF THOSE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IS LONG FORGOTTEN UNTIL THE NEXT ARGUMENTS ARISES AND ARE CALL AGAIN TO DIE ONCE MORE SAME OLD SAME OLD . STABLIZE WORLD POPULATIONS GROWTHS LESS ENERGY IS NEEDED = LESS POLLUTIONS
    MOST OF ALL NO MORE WARS . WE'RE IN THE 21ST CENTURY CANT WE JUST LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER. ONCE A UPON A TIME THE PLANET MARS WAS A GREEN WORLD, THE ELIMENTS THAT PRESENTLY EXISTS THERE CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT ON MARS, SO WHAT'S EARTHLINGS WANTS TO DO REVERSES THE ELIMENTS? WHEN HUMANS TRY'S PLAYING GOD IT ALWAYS BACKFIRES..MY POINT HERE, WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME TAKING CARE OF HOME, WHAT'S MAKES YOU THINK MARS CAN BE COLANNIZE ? 3RD FROM THE SUN IS THE CREATOR'S GIFT TO HUMANS AT THE RATE WE'RE LIVING WE ARE
    GETTING VERY CLOSE TO LOSING THE 3RD. ✌ ☮.

  24. Why build it under Native American lands? Why not use American lands?

  25. just want to ruin everything this people are demons

  26. I'm all for carbon capture, but if you can't do it locally don't do it. Find a way to do it locally, but America has enough pipelines.

  27. AHO BROTHERS & SISTERS! THIS TIME THEY WILL LISTEN! 💛🖤❤️🤍 -AMBASSADOR EDWARDS 🇺🇳

  28. Racist always identify people by race. Why not just call them farmers?

  29. Fun fact six native American trides lived in the dakotas till the Sioux murdered them all pushed them out and stole there land.

  30. This sounds like a solution that will become an environmental nightmare in the not too distant future. How much damage will be done to install the pipelines, that need to be maintained? Why not store the stuff under the plant that creates the emissions? In fact, why have it emit into the air at all? Cannot the plants be built to shoot the deadly emissions straight into an underground storage facility? 🤷‍♀️🤔

  31. Mississippi River is drying up. Do we really need more co2 in the atmosphere?
