The hearing is over in DC. It looks like the ACOE was called out since they "set aside a NEPA decision for a flawed environmental analysis." Yes, there are wins today but not for everything asked. It appears that the ACOE will have to consult with tribal experts in an open forum, NOT behind closed doors. It also looks like the EIS process will be restarted.

Received an email from Sierra Club today, asking me to call the comment line at the White House, to say that I stand with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, that I oppose DAPL, and that the White House listen to the tribe this time. I did ask about recording this comment but I was told the "volunteer" hand wrote the comments, only including something new. I asked because you know who claimed no one said anything before. I asked for info about what happened to the comments I have made for the EIS, if they can be retrieved or if new ones need to be made . You can call the number that Sierra Club provides that explains pretty much what I said here at 202-816-6137. I tried it a couple times but the line connecting to the comment line was busy so I called the comment line directly: (202)456-1111. It took a few tries to get through. Now I'm on hold, and have been for about the last little over 15 minutes. Guess they're busy getting these calls, but I am willing to wait as...

One judge, Boasberg actually, had the gumption to make this ruling against DAPL yesterday, finally his 91-page decision, finally standing up for what's right. Time for a close reading. Oil is stil flowing, but now there's a small chance to stop it. ETP has still mad no statement.  News released worldwide.  Will this recent decision weigh in on Keystone XL, enough to stop this pipeline?  Comments can still be made re: Keystone XL as well as Line 3. Remember the latter is NOT fixing a pipeline but laying another. Most of the articles linked below connect to this latest decision.  Judge Delivers Blow To Trump Administration In Dakota Access Fight Judge orders redo of Dakota Access pipeline environmental review Activists claim Dakota Access Pipeline's permit invalid in Iowa, request halt of oil shipments Judge Orders Redo of Dakota Access Pipeline's Environmental Review BBC News - Dakota Access Pipeline needs more review, judge says Judge orders review of...

One question of many questions remain unanswered, this particular one that keeps coming up with most of the pipelines: just how does eminent domain refer to pipelines that will be shipping oil to the coast, none of it being used in the US but instead shipped to other countries? That does nothing to improve the lives of any one living in the US unless of course you want to count the fossil fuel companies. If you ask me and even if you don't, it's a crock!
