But they are water protectors

So the Indians first didn't want their burial grounds being destroyed and dug up for the pipeline, so construction was moved off their land, and now the protesters are still upset because it can damage the environment and the rivers?

Aren't there already several pipelines that have been built?

Couldn't we see if previously installed pipelines caused environmental damage to see how this would really affect the water?

The more I look into this, the more ridiculous this whole situation appears to me, honestly.

It is a fact that other pipelines have had leaks. Some were small but some were massive. So it is a real possibility that it could happen. I have often thought companies building pipelines should be required to have a certain amount of money per mile held in reserves to insure against the government having to pick up the cost in cases where it does happen. But it isn't common to have any problems with them really as long as they are maintained well.
