There answers to your questions are quite simple. The Dakota pipeline was ten to fifteen years too late. Just a as coal is not the energy of the future, neither is oil. Oil is antiquated technology. The Tar sands oil in the Dakota pipeline is low grade crap. Extremely expensive to refine because it is very dirty. The oil companies knew that the Dakota pipeline was a bad idea which is why the oil complain its themselves refused to fund the construction. Green energy is the future. You may rest that, but its true. Every automaker in the world, is building alternative energy vehicles. this is their priority. Ford is leading the way. Just as cola powered trains gave way to Diesel electric, cars are moving away form oil/gasoline. Now Trains, ships and even planes are running non biofuels. Biofuels represent endless crops to grow for American farmers. Biofuels represent a major export for the U.S. Biofuels represent genuine energy independence. The same is true for fracking. It is bad technology. Fracking causes toxic well water. Fracking causes seismic disturbance. We have better methods. Fracking is like cutting a wedding cake with a hatchet. The repercussions from fracking will, last for a century or more. There price of gasoline and oil is going up for several reasons. Oil companies are gouging us. just as lumber companies are during this time. As demand for alternative fuel cars is growing, gasoline sales is declining. Oil companies are trying too net the same profit from less sales. If you do not believe me, show men a quarter in the last 20 years where oil companies its showed a loss on their books. Oil companies hit record profits on a regular basis. On more raisin to abandon oil as a fuel. A percentage of the gasoline the you buy right now, every day is ethanol (biofuel). soon it will be 100% Ethanol. Oil companies are converting refineries to produce ethanol as we speak. Ethanol is cleaner, cheaper and more sustainable. It is a 100% domestic product. Why on earth would we cling to oil production and the Dakota pipeline when the oil industry itself is switching to biofuels? The ONLY person who still believes in oil production is Donald Trump. Oil companies are moving away from oil. Just like with coal industry, Trump is clinging to old antiquated technology.
