And the Atlantic Coast pipeline died this weekend too (even after the company just won a court case)!

Seems to me this all must be addressing the age old question: What is protesting worth?  

Answer: Besides a win for the earth, indigenous people and local people, protesting seems worth about four and a half billion dollars extra that Dominion Energy paid as they tried to sneak around and do it in spite of 6 years of well- researched, argued, and organized protests.

And the Potomac pipeline?  FERC did all it could to save it but there’s some promising court progress.  The new unknown is Warren Buffet whose Berkshire Hathaway just bought it. But all of us, rag-tag and bobble-tailed, don’t mind the unknown…

Amazing! What a huge victory for Indigenous people.  And it comes as the Standing Rock Sioux stopped the

pipeline running through their land.

sure enough the times, they are a changing.

I am delighted to see that the US supreme court has ruled that the state of Oklahoma must recognize the treaty signed long ago with indigenous peoples. If Congress wants to reject that treaty it will have to do so explicitly, and that is likely to be a struggle!

As one NY Times reader notes, "the question of what the impact is on the state's regulatory authority over the land in question is coming!”

If slavery was the original sin of the US this was only by a small margin, since conflict with indigenous peoples had begun by 1622. The US government went on to authorize over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians.

(Perhaps as someone born in the UK I should add that I am well aware of the British role in this.)
