| Jul 18, 2017 at 18:40 | comment | added | alephzero | @CarlWitthoft Why should I care about new stories from foreign country about what a bunch of former immigrants are doing to the indigenous people who where there before them ? Not my problem - except that almost everything the USA does is the rest of the world's problem as well, unfortunately ;) | |
| Jul 18, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | @alephzero You might want to look at the news stories from the last 18 months concerning a crude pipeline under construction thru land supposedly belonging to Native American tribes. | |
| Jul 18, 2017 at 14:29 | comment | added | alephzero | @CarlWitthoft Crude pipelines are only built on land that is owned by the pipeline operator, and not used for any other purpose (at least, that is the case in the UK - I can't speak for the USA). A gasoline pipe network connected to every fuel station would have to be routed similarly to water, LPG gas, underground electricity and phones cables, etc , and would be at risk of damage from every klutz contractor who digs a trench somewhere without checking what's already underground! That is a completely different risk scenario from a large oil pipeline. | |

| Jul 18, 2017 at 14:12 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | Your last point, while valid in theory, is ignored in practice -- look at all the crude pipelines in place and under construction. | |
