Others see the US president keeping his promise to ‘make America great again’. The Guardian drove along the proposed route of the pipeline, through three red states - Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska - to hear what those who will be affected have to say about it.

This is journalism how it should be done
I'm listening to the ranchers.
Thanks! Just doing some independent research on my own about the pipeline. This really puts it into perspective
Doing the same.
@@BRLambert4 same
Same lol

You Need to READ the EIS in terms of the Jobs/economic analysis. It will explicitly state what the environmental impacts are. I have prepared over 400 EIR/EIS documents. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT. Trump was all about $$$$$ and campaign donors.
Water is a precious resource, state land departments are selling water rights to foreign countries. Jeopardizing fresh water with contamination is a dangerous game.
Those cows!!! ❤️🐮 😍
Joye is a hero. Thank you for leading this fight!
I wouldn't be surprised if people would start sabotaging the pipeline when it reaches their property.
SO MANY of these people vote for TRUMP to take their land... Explain that to me please.
They get compensated generously for the pipeline running through their land, the government doesn’t just take it.
@@brewskibrew986 "generously"
lol
@@brewskibrew986 Anything to do or said with Trump is a lie.
the guy talking right near the end of the video is telling us if you cross on my land.....well you know the rest...a determine man there.
But it’s my understanding that the new line would be much more robust and safer than rail car?
That's what they said about the existing Keystone pipelines... and if I recall, they have leaked over 20+ times thus far, with 4 being the most significant in terms of barrels. Great to know it's not what Faux News portrays opposition to the XL to be; a bunch of yahoo environmentalists and Native Americans wanting this shut down... but even die hard conservatives in that region who do not want pipelines going through their properties.
Getting angry about something doesnt mean someone else is gonna go fix it; there are so many videos with comments like, "activists said this would happen and it is!" but they fail to recognize that they didn't get anything done by talking about it. A real activist actively works against the thing they are against instead of saying, "I told you so, and that means I'm so smart that I should be the only one to have say in anything as all my feels are obviously the correct feels."
Now look where we are...
"There's a smarter way to do this".
OK.... what is it? You forgot to say.
Without fracking
@@captainjackpugh6050 What does fracking have to do with the Keystone Pipeline?
@@menow. The pipeline just transports the oil, but the oil was mining using fracking
@@captainjackpugh6050 NO IT ISN'T look up Fort McMURRY CANADA
@@georgedavidson7986 Oh really? I thought the oil was acquired using fracking.
So sorry about losing your land. I think it wasn't yours or anybody else's.
well done video!
Its all a question of the rent payment.
All needs to fight wasnt right T slipped that in.noones fault sure isn't what T said ,he lied and it does effect alot not the only ones this is happening too.they are illegally doing this
A pipeline easement does not "take the land". A pipeline easement only gives the right to install, operate and maintain a pipeline. A pipeline does not take away a ranchers ability to use his land. As part of the pipeline construction the right of way is compacted, leveled and reseeded. Within a year it is inspected by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to ensure the proper reclamation of the land. After the pipeline is put in service it is surveyed by air or ground as often as monthly mandated by federal regulation, these surveys are to monitor the condition of the pipeline right of way . The rancher drinking coffee and looking out his window will see no change to his land scape after construction is complete. If he looks very closely he will only see a few 3 foot tall pipeline markers placed every 500 feet along the pipeline. He complains about eminent domain but he doesn't complain about the eminent domain that allowed an electrical utility company to build a powerline to bring electricity to his ranch. If he doesn't like eminent domain he should heat his coffee water on a wood fire.
One spill will make the land USLESS!!
pipeline for canada
U support the pipeline?
@@addhfdunvxf Yes
The pipeline provides thousands of jobs.
Sure, but temporary jobs.
Hes NOT a Republican.
@26 why should it matter if this particular pipeline being built. This country has built so many pipelines across America that it could circle the Earth.
Why, because he put country over party?
Anyone miss Trump yet?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do! I miss his confrontational press conferences
Nah. So far I like all the executive orders Biden has passed through. I was worried he would sit around but he has taken action and hurt the people I hate so pleasantly surprised.
Nope
Nope
Everyone got paid for it.
This Rancher is complaining about a pipeline that is going to built across his land because oil will be flowing inside the pipe that may or may not have a oil spill. However he is driving around in a pickup truck that uses gasoline to run on. It you don't want a pipeline being built on your land, then you shouldn't be driving a vehicle that runs on gasoline. The pipeline is needed if people like him are going to continue using gasoline.
That is just ridiculous. A foreign government building on your land should not be acceptable. If you live on a ranch you need a pickup truck. Lets stick with US oil
@@DavidLee-fi6zk - You ready for paying more than double a gallon what we pay now?
@@rcbif101 the purpose of the KXL was to provide a shortcut, a direct route fr faster transport, which meant crossing through MT, SD, & Nebraska down to Port Aransas, TX, for EXPORT. Buying it or not has no effect on US gas $ The only benefactor here is TC, at the expense of American & Native lands, water supply, & eco-system. No jobs lost, unless u want to count the 35 positions?? These are ppls lives & livelihoods.
@@rcbif101 XL gas was going to be sold as an export.
Well there it is....
The STUPIDEST thing I've Read all Day.
Build that wall tall and deep.
Sir, Mexicans dig tunnels... they cross into the US literally right under your nose. Please build it as high as the Trump Tower!😁
Lol! How's that working out for you now!
I’ve been a pipeline welder for 13 years and I feel sorry for people affected by it but that’s not going to stop us from constructing it. I personally make 120k to 150k welding on pipelines, there’s no other industry that I can make that sort of money at.
I hear you worked in the oilfield for almost 5yrs after graduating & some college. The money was great + benefits it was all beautiful, but once I learned about the consequences with the pipeline it didn’t align with my morals, call it what you call it but I’m happily working in construction now…everything has a price
Well, dems cancelled it... ! Great job (or loss of thousands I should say). Enjoy 4.00/gal gas! One person and his land.
And if it was your land???
@@richardluce775 pipelines are the most safest way to move oil then it is by rail cars.
@@shanewilson8728 its tar sands. The most dangerous product to move through a pipeline. Check Canada data for failures
@@hugoagogo9567 Trans Mountain pipeline was built in 1953 that runs from Edmonton Alberta to Burnaby BC and has never been an oil spill with that pipeline and that pipeline is 68 years old.
yip now Warren Buffett gets to run oil with his tankers and trains...after all, he paid the Dems for it.
I wonder if these people drive gasoline powered vehicles. If they do they are hypocrites'
That pipeline doesn't effect the price of gas . It profits a Canadian Corp. not us .
They are turkeys voting for Thanksgiving
It's not energy independence not our oil
I believe that you are 100% on target. I personally would have great reservation if someone decided to take my land, whether for profit or mot. The country, the whole world, needs to manage their resources rather than ploder it for the profit.
no more XL
To all the pipeline workers who voted correctly, I feel for and wish you the best!
As for the others... please shut up and go get your green jobs.
You voted for a guy that made Biden look reasonable.....
Biden should be in an assisted living facility right now - instead of running the country.
People got fed up with orange man's nonsense and voted an invalid in instead.
Well, yes, people do effect the planet! Isn't there a compromise?
Water is live and secret. The World is lucking for. Stop the Pipeline.
Your freedom is our freedom.
Rofl reverse course....trump overstepped.
I never understood hanging animal heads on the wall , its barbaric, we eat meat but that tradition is outdated
But you have every right to be disturbed by it, I grew up around it so it doesn’t bother me
Yeah it’s pretty dumb. I personally don’t really care though. The animal is already dead anyway
So you'd rather waste the head than be able to admire and member the animal you got the food from? Got it....
@@captainjackpugh6050 why comment if you don't care?
