How does one make an actual scientific argument out of this ? It ' s a fucking pipe that threatens their water supply . Where do I , or should I , fucking find a science for that ? Ah so I suppose you ' re against nuclear too as it can threaten someone water supply . Prove that the chances of the pipe a bursting and b bursting in a location that would hurt the water supply , when the pipe is 13 feet underground are high enough that its an actual credible danger . Should I find a primary journal article about not being a shit person ? Get a primary source about not being an alarmist moron who thinks that because an accident can happen with something means we shouldn ' t build it . Are you going to go full luddite now ? Are you going to ban cars or airplanes because they might threaten someones water supply ? It ' s literally morals and common sense at this point . No its literally you denying the science and the fact that the people of Standing Rock did not go to the negotiations . If you ' re so worried about accidents , step away from your device as it might explode ! To make sure you are safe , throw away all electronics and lock yourself in your room !
