ur not thinking baby bottle pop ? <| sep |> From what i understand DAPL already has an easement elsewhere in the state where they are running another pipeline they could have just routed this one through the same place . I went deep into this whole issue this week . They actually make money on spills because their subsidiaries are hire to do the clean up while they are also taking insurance money from lost revenue and assets . So they ' re almost legally required to spread them out because they have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders . It was from whistleblowers from enbridge , which is a separate company so at this point it is heresay , but my guess is the industry is going to have a massive day in court one day and it might be from the Sioux . They were offered like 100 million dollars for land like 70 years ago that they never accepted so the government put it in a trust that they have never touched . It ' s worth around $ 1 . 5 billion dollars . My guess is that if this busts , they ' ll decide touch that money afterall and make hell rain down on the whole industry . Can you imagine having that much money to spend on one lawsuit ? And they ' re absolutely not the type to settle . We have these pipelines going everywhere . Through fucking lake michigan even . The water issue is real and not just for the Sioux . For all of us . I ' m personally going to Standing Rock in a few weeks because the guilt is weighing on me so bad . I was about 6040 on until I realized I was cooking my Thanksgiving Turkey with natural gas flowing through one of these pipelines .
