Keystone Pipeline

would also remove carbon emissions restrictions on U.S. power plants, increase fossil fuel production, and finish the Keystone XL pipeline. Trump would hasten the global warming issue that is upon us. Clinton will try to help fight global warming by staying in the Paris Accord, increasing investments in renewable energy, banning arctic drilling, and blocking the Keystone XL pipeline. With Hillary Clinton as president, the environment will be much better off. Not only will it be better off for…

The very same pipeline that would run through her home of The White Earth reservation. She has argued about the way that the pipeline would not only disrupt the land on which she and her community live but also how it could possibly impact the environment, and destroy what the Anishinabek and Lakota people would try to protect. The pipeline is constructed in a way for tar sands (sand that has oil within it) to be transported…

Editing information, another aspect of totalitarianism, is terrifyingly prevalent in the 2016 election. Donald Trump, the forty-fifth President of the United States, has had one of the most controversial campaigns in history. Many question how he moved from a life of hosting TV shows to the White House so easily. The answer is simple: his use of falsehoods to psychologically manipulate the public. Trump’s presidency has been full of lies. Whether you are a supporter or not, it is clear that he…

Fracking in a nutshell, is a new way to extract oil out of shale in the United states. Most other countries don’t use it because they don’t need it, we are finding lots of oil in shale, but its too dense and hard to extract that oil out of without breaking it up first. Fracking means to use liquid to break apart fissures and extract oil and gas through the gaps, and hydraulic means to be using and moving fluid under pressure. They have reinvented portions of the process of how we go about…

There aren’t many pipelines in the US to transport the oil or they were running in the wrong directions. There was a glut created in Cushing, Oklahoma from the excess of oil being imported. Where in other parts of the country there were oil shortages where the pipelines didn’t reach. This abundance of oil in Oklahoma started to decrease when pipelines from Texas to Cushing were reversed. There were also some new pipelines opening that helped in distributing this oil but…

The Athabascan Tar Sands: Why Tree Hugging is Good Business We are divided between the unethical and the irresponsible. We contribute to global emissions that are rapidly snowballing out of our control while trying to balance a precarious economy. Yet some feel that to benefit one would inherently be to the detriment to the other. Canada can not afford to view the world through the lens of this false dichotomy and reconciliation between these two sides is the only option. The exportation of…

Learning about Sacagawea this week in both Chapter 8 and our other readings and videos was very interesting. Like I've said before in postings, in high school I was given a less descriptive and thorough history of her, though in this instance, it was not a contradictory version. I've read and learned before that she was the guide for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition across the western half of North America, that she helped them greatly and translated for them when they met Native…

When considering peaceful resistance to laws, one must consider the common good of the society. In America, for example, it is commonly though that civil disobedience is a common good, and is regularly practiced. Although this peaceful resistance can bring about change in society, especially in a government run by the people and for the people, sometimes those people can be thinking of themselves instead of the overall demographic of the society. I believe that peaceful resistance, in this day…

to increase the chances of disasters occurring in its collection or transport are expected. The effect that the Deepwater Horizon disaster had on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystems can be compared to the potential effect the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone Pipeline could have on terrestrial ecosystems should a disaster occur. Convincing research results could not only help rehabilitate negatively affected ecosystems, but it could potentially prevent the development and usage of technology…

night!? From 8:30 to 11:00 Anderson Cooper through question after question at the five Democratic candidates. The first directed at Hillary Clinton, a question in regards to her constant “flip floping” on various political topics. From TPP, to KeyStone pipeline. Both were answered with quick whit and political savoy. This set the tone for Hillary the entire evening. She was poised, Presidential, very confident and relaxed. Showing her understanding of basically every issue. Going after guns,…
