    Case Study: Eminent Domain

    As previously stated, Midland's installation of the pipeline, and its potential to provide natural gas service was likely to spur growth, as well as provide the town with an advantage in attracting new industries making these opportunities for the public benefit of the citizens of Midland.

    Keystone Xl Pipeline

    The Keystone XL pipeline is a possible opportunity for the United States to bring oil to the country without relying on the Middle Eastern countries. The construction of this pipeline would be in response to strong demand of crude oil in out Gulf Coast region, as a result of declining oil feeds from foreign countries. The process of approving the pipeline, beginning in 2008, has been very controversial. Those who approve of the pipeline tend to focus on its economic benefits, while those who oppose it are focusing on the ways it can be detrimental to our environment. TransCanada is the corporation who wants to build the pipeline, they are resposible for building and developing safe energy infrastructires thorughout North America. In addition to importing crude oil from Canada, TransCanada believes, “the Keystone XL Pipeline will also support the significant growth of crude oil production in the United States from producers in the Bakken region of Montana and North Dakota” (“About the”). The process for constructing this pipeline has been a long road, for both sides of the issue. The application was first submitted and…

    Orono Community Case Study

    Referred to as “The Lakeshore City,” Orono, Minnesota is 16.1 square miles of rolling green hills, glistening lake-line, and Midwestern fundamentalism is considered a haven to its 7,796 residents. The members of this community boast some of the flashiest educations, highest incomes, healthiest lifestyles, and most expensive homes in the state of Minnesota.

    Pros And Cons Of Building A Pipeline

    In my opinion, the fact that it’s even up for debate whether we build the pipe is pretty ridiculous. For one, the pipe crosses over sacred burial ground. To me, this is proof that a part of the American government has little or no regard for the Native American’s ways of life. The idea of building a pipeline through the gravesite of our founding fathers or important leaders would apall us, so why is it any more “okay” to do so through the gravesite of important Native people? What’s more, a leak or rupture in the pipe could cause oil to seep into the ground, tainting the soil with oil, as well as damaging the reservation’s water supply. The former would be a significant issue, as the main economic activites on the Standing Rock reservation…
