A power outage blocking the Pipeline? I was under the impression that the Pipeline had backup power generators and back ups for the backups. So a problem like that at one point wouldn’t stop up the entire line.
This isn't the pipeline that went down before this is the one moving oil from Canada and the to refineries in Texas.
The oil in North Dakota moves through the Dakota access pipeline to Illinois to another pipeline in Texas.
If you're curious it was the DAPL pipeline that had all the protestors here they made the area where they stayed so filthy and they left behind so much garbage they had to take bulldozers to clean it out.
The whole reason the protest began was because the tribal leaders wanted more money for them to cross the land the pipeline creators then decided to move it and then the protests started the tribal leader even admitted it was about money and asked people to go home.
The protests made a far bigger mess to our state than the pipeline ever would have if it had gone under the lake. The protestors from out of state were awful people trying to drowned deer to eat. We didn't coddle them like they would have been if they were in a blue state. Oh, and people were getting paid to protest.
Sorry probably too much information but I find it interesting.
Yep the tribal leader even went on Kfyr TV telling people to go home. He admitted it was about money.
YouTube scrubbed the videos. A friend of mine who was in the guard serving there said they couldn't wear their uniforms in Bismarck because it would incite violence. They only had interaction with people crossing over into town.
A power outage would have an impact almost certainly, along the lines there are pumping stations, valves, etc that all have electrical controls. Often if the power goes out, the safest thing to do is "fail closed" which means losing power closes the valve.

You're right, you were under that impression

Good to know! I have friends (blue, some NA connection) who raise their fists in support. Never know what to say, now I do!

ND is a very clean state,the protestors were not.
not too much for me. I didn't know, and also found it interesting. Unsurprising, but interesting.
Natural gas uses pumps that operate off NG they bleed straight from the lines. At least my company operates that way.
…related to Hoover dam blow possibly?
