Take Back The Truth

Pipelines are the safest, most efficient and environmentally friendly method of transporting oil and gas, compared to moving the fuels by rail or truck.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), petroleum and natural gas accounted for 38% and 36% of the total U.S. energy consumption respectively.

One of the most technologically advanced pipelines in the world, the Dakota Access Pipeline can transport up to 750,000 barrels of oil a day.  During construction, the Dakota Access Pipeline created roughly 10,000 highly skilled union jobs. Between 2017 – 2023, Dakota Access Pipeline paid more than $222 million in property taxes.
