Many Alaskans favor oil drilling in the state because each resident gets a yearly bribe of $1,600 a year from the oil industry to allow it to extract, process, and transport oil without being hassled.
Those Alaskans, probably like their governor, are bought off cheaply.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, said the decision was “horrible,” and that “a federal judge trying to shelve a major oil project on American soil does one thing: outsources production to dictatorships & terrorist organizations.”
Go do your due diligence properly rather than simply publishing a report that was likely written (or at least heavily influenced) by the oil company. Then maybe the judge will allow the project to go forward.

Good news for a change! Thanks for posting. Let’s hope this encourages the Indigenous nations & their allies who are organizing to stop Line 3.
