Wait, Ted Cruz is wrong?????

We get zero benefit, and all the risk. Fuck that

I don't think saying 'largest aquifer in the US' conveys really what they're jeopardizing -

82% of the people in that region get there water from there. Today about 27% of the irrigated land in the entire United States lies over the aquifer, which yields about 30% of the ground water used for irrigation in the United States. (Wikipedia)

It is one of the largest in the world...

For oil.

America's Dangerous Pipelines

This should be one of the most enraging ecological disasters of our lifetime, but the media barely speaks about it.

Anke : exactly.

For anyone who hasn't lived in or been in these regions, they might not realize it's also where we grow most of our livestock feed, and raise most of our livestock. The outrageous increase of cost of water if such incidents occur in this region will absolutely trickle down to any soy products, corn products, meat products, etc.

are they actually building that pipeline?

I believe as of last year, yes. As of Biden, not sure. I just don't even know why it's being considered.

It looks like parts of it are complete, more than I thought or knew honestly.

With the world (including the US again) on track for electricity they probably won't get their investment back out before it becomes obsolete.

Biden cancelled the pipeline with an exec order which was how Trump approved it. You need legislation to keep it from easily being brought back.
