The Sandhills make up a very large portion of Nebraska.
??? No, they really are hills with a lot of sand.
I've been in the Sandhills a number of times, and it's no more environmentally sensitive than any other place. Yes, it's a wetland (what isn't?), and it has a variety of uninteresting flora and fauna. I also don't think it's a very attractive place, but that's a matter of opinion as I know some people love the area. I think we need to ask the environmentalists where it's OK to drill or lay down a pipeline. I think the answer is that anywhere is fine as long as the capitalist US isn't benefiting.
Obviously, you're not familiar with the area.
The entire western half of Nebraska, north of the Platte, is composed mostly of sandhills.
Not dunes. Sandhills. They're covered with grass and, thus, stabilized.
i grew up in the sandhills of nebraska
and i can tell you emphatically:
they suck.
Sandhill and Nebraska.
No, there actually are sandhills in Nebraska, but it is the Ogalalla aqafer that is the argument in this case, but there already are some twentythree tousand miles of pipelines crossing Nebraska, oil and gas, and this one would only add a couple of hundred more, and it would be state of the art with safety eqipment , this is madness, the primeminister of Canada said this pipeline is a no brainer, so he must have been talking about Obama lol
