The Standing Rock Sioux return to their valleys and their farms but they did not desert America when she needed protection most
Primarily originating from the coast of Texas spreading up through the Great Plain basin like wires from a switchboard are an interlacing of 2.4 million miles of liquid petroleum and volitile natural gas pipelines resembling the web of a spider under the influence of cannabinoids
Spreading its appendages throughout the country, it is the largest network of energy pipelines of any nation in the world
Of course why you have one pipeline bringing petroleum from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada and another bringing petroleum from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico isnt the point, unless you're a cracked out spider
The point is the Sioux brought attention to the fact that somehow we let whoever owns the petroleum industry put deadly toxins over almost every aquifer and natural gas pipelines under every major population hub in America

"The United States has the largest network of energy pipelines in the world, with more than 2.4 million miles of pipe"
" Research at a 1979 crude oil spill from a ruptured pipeline has exposed and helped to overcome many challenges facing an effective, cost-efficient cleanup of crude oil, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists have found. The environmental release of crude oil occurred near Bemidji, Minnesota.
Although natural microbial activity has been degrading the plume of oil contaminants dissolved in groundwater, the crude oil trapped in the aquifer has provided a continuous source of dissolved hydrocarbon contamination to the groundwater contaminant plume "
