The problem is that they lie about the issue so badly that gullible individuals believe the narrative and support these idiots, then when the truth gets out, it’s too late because the lie has become truth.
In this case, it’s not on indian ground, it won’t pollute the river, and here’s the kicker, it’s right next to an existing oil pipeline that has never been nor will it be a problem.
Oil isn’t like the old days where the wildcatter blows off a gusher of oil. If they spill a quart of oil on the ground, they need to do a significant spill cleanup and probably write up a ream of reports.
Oil drilling is an extremely precise, clean and modern operation.
They love the idea of high speed rails cutting through private lands.
” it’s right next to an existing oil pipeline “
Ahh; right next to SEVEN others.

Such is now the standard operating procedure libtards employ regarding any and every issue they’re against. Make the lie big enough, and tell it often enough that people start taking it for truth.
There’s a local ‘issue’ near me that they are doing the same exact thing to. The issue is regarding the building of a relatively small water retention pond along the Gila River. The pond would be filled by pumping water from the river ONLY during flood stage, and then be released back into the river and a few irrigation ditches during the hot summer months when the river is reduced down to a trickle. The libtards are opposed to this, of course. The lie they are using is printed on bumper stickers, signs, and in articles and reads: “No damn dam on the Gila River!” Absolutely nobody is talking about or planning to build a dam on the river, but by using that slogan, they’ve tapped into the emotions of the ignorant and created a sizeable resistance to the project. The reality is that they really just hate our civilization, which probably stems from some sort of self-loathing.
