You're right, it still cuts through a section of the aquifer. They chose a route that avoided the Sandhills. I was mistaken. It's been awhile since the issue has been talked about.

What's their consensus about it outside of a leak into the aquifer? Do they think it will disrupt their operation? Are they ok with any financial compensation they would get to give up the land?

My Uber Republican buddy is strongly opposed to the pipeline for the potential leak and running through his fields, so he is giving Biden big kudos on this. His oldest brother came around a bit on renewable energy though, if they want the land they are going to get it anyway so no reason to fight em.  But the potential decades of soil contamination is the big hang-up.

Good for them. The problem with them is that they likely only took this position because it was going through their property. If it wasn't they would still likely be gung-ho lay that pipe people... these NIMBY(s) (not in my backyard.) 

It only shows Republicans don't care about anything in principle until it directly impacts them.

Yes, didn't I imply just that?

And that's a blanket statement that can easily be said about Democrats.  It's buzz word mud slinging.  If that's your platform more power to ya.

No, this is how 99% of the people think. about all issues.

It is called being normal.  Doesn't make anyone a bad person.

Even most of the posters here, that talk about this and that needing to be changed/saved/cancelled...that is all it is , talk and posts.  They don't actually do anything because well, in the end, most of us do what we do for ourselves and family.

It is not a D or R thing...it is a human thing.

Ha!

I can remember like 15 years ago when they were trying to get casinos on the ballot...I was sooooo for that, 100%!  I walked out of a Bakers and there was as dude collecting signatures, I literally did not stop for even the 6 seconds it would have taken me to sign it, I just went to my car and left.

Kinda like those Limo Liberals always talking high and mighty about wanting their taxes raised and Government should do it yada yada yada.  And at the same time they take all their relevant deductions, put money in all the relevant tax safe havens, and never donate more to the treasury than absolutely necessary.
 

The billionaire tax whiners are the worst.  “Oh raise my taxes, I don’t pay enough.  It’s better for society to have higher tax rates”. Knowing full well they have the best accountants to continue to explore any loophole available.  
 

Meanwhile, If they are gonna be so vocal about the upper middle class paying more in taxes too in order to make the world a better place, why don’t those folks donate every penny they have above 1 billion dollars In net worth  immediately instead of hoarding all that dough?  Can’t Mr. and Mrs. High and Mighty figure out a way to Comfortably live off of $1 billion for the rest of their lives to make the world a better place and stop moralizing with their words and do it with their deeds instead.  
 

Of course, I am for people paying the tax rate set by the government and voluntarily donating to charity and causes.  The lower the tax rate  with no loopholes the better in my line.  But I hate fake people who talk about inequity to shame everyone else while they hoard more wealth than some small countries.  I’m not against them from having that wealth at all, just shut up and enjoy it
