In reply to the discussion: A political argument against the pipeline. [View all]newfie11
(8,159 posts)6. If thiis pipeline goes through, I have a farm for sale
Our drinking water and irrigation water comes from the Ogallala Aquifer. The past history of oil company's clean up abilities in the ocean and on land sucks. How they can even plan on "cleaning up" an oil spill into the Ogallala. That many miles of pipeline, you bet it will happen.
If you think prices are high right now for bread, corn, soybean, sunflower, etc products just wait.
