When are the existing pipelines in the USA going to be replaced rather than causing more danger to more lands in the USA?

No is never no to the petroleum industry. They want to endanger the land in the same states that the KXL was crossing. This is ridiculous. There are miles and miles of existing pipeline old and speculative to it's integrity, yet, the petroleum industry wants to threaten more land with a FAILING INDUSTRY.

A project by any other name is still the same project. Even after the KXL was ordered to end it's useless ambitions, there is still all this nonsense going on. No presidential candidate should be accepting funding from the petroleum industry. THEY ARE FAILING AND GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!

The Dakota Access Pipeline (click here) Project is a new approximate 1,134-mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline that will connect the rapidly expanding Bakken and Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. The pipeline will enable domestically produced light sweet crude oil from North Dakota to reach major refining markets in a more direct, cost-effective, safer and environmentally responsible manner. The pipeline will also reduce the current use of rail and truck transportation to move Bakken crude oil to major U.S. markets to support domestic demand.
