Best 30-second elevator speech all week:
Ness pointed out the route of the DAPL pipeline parallels the route of a high voltage power line and the existing Northern Border Pipeline, which was installed in the 1980s. He also points out that DAPL crosses the Missouri River twice in North Dakota, with the other being near Williston, upstream from that city's water intake. Ness suggests the lawsuit filed on behalf of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is more about shutting down the oil industry than protecting the environment. -- Ron Ness, President, North Dakota Petroleum Council
