The Dakota Pipeline is a very controversial 12,000 mile-long system of pipes that is currently under construction, and is meant to transfer as many as 570,000 barrels of crude oil each day from North Dakota to Illinois. Some people, such as the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, have been conducting protests, and those protests include camping on the grounds where the pipeline is to be constructed or nearby. Because of these protests, over 150 people have been arrested, and officials have been accused of using excessive force during the demonstrations (such as pepper spray and rubber bullets). The Army Corps of Engineers (the company that permitted the project) has been sued by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, on the grounds that the project violated the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The federal government has not taken many steps to halt the construction of the pipeline, although it was briefly blocked in hopes of a review. Reasons the project is being protested include the fact that the pipeline will run underneath the Missouri River (risking leaking and contamination), and the possible contribution to man-made climate change.
You start by saying it's "very controversial." In your opinion, why is it so controversial?
It's controversial because of many reasons, most of which I stated in the summary. It mostly surrounds the opposition from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, and the environmental ramifications.
