Are these people out of their minds? Just what we need, an oil slick on Lake Sakakawea. Yeah, that’ll improve the fishing.

Are they trying to play politics here? It didn’t pass muster going through the sand in Neb. Why do they think it would be okay under a lake in ND? Oh, we are a big oil state, now I get it.

are you kidding me? with the oil spills and waste pit problems we’ve already experienced in such a short time, would anyone really even consider this as anything but a joke?

Damn…Everyone else already said the obvious….I wonder if this outrage is to take our minds off the other pipeline?
As for spills….The ocean is vast so apparently it was able to spread and break down to near nothing in all that water….Our fresh water lake might be big, but it’s not that big…..
Oh hell…Someone’s just blowing smoke up the arse…..There’s absolutely no way this would ever happen….That water has to flow down the Missourie…..Even if someone was foolish enough to let them try to put one in…There’d be all the other states bringing injunctions to stop it before it ever started….What a ridiculus idea to even float.

Sure will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I am guessing it will be a go.
