The Army Corps has announced it will begin a new Environmental Impact Study for alternative routes for the North Dakota Access pipeline.
I'm celebrating, but somewhat cautiously. President-elect Trump supports the pipeline, and while the Corps has a major say, Trump could bring pressure to bear. Personally, I don't think he will want to stir up this hornet's nest again.
The other issue is with the people who oppose any pipeline. They see this as a sellout, since an alternative route is still a route. There are people who don't understand the saying "Half a loaf is better than none." These are the same people who voted for Jill Stein and gave us a president who does not even recognize global warming.
Its sad, but people just do not use their brains and think.
