The Dakota Access Pipeline: The Other Side of the Story
Tom Mason is the General Counsel at Energy Transfer. Energy Transfer was responsible for the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline and Tom himself has been directly involved on the project.
While the Dakota Access Pipeline triggered protests around the country, the media coverage didn’t fully cross-examine all sources of information and, consequently, skewed the narrative of the importance of the Dakota Access Pipeline. In episode of The Ambition Project Show, Tom provides the other side of the story. Although social media helped the story spread like wildfire, what was never underlined was the extensive procedures that took place to ensure safety for everyone involved, and why the Dakota Access Pipeline is needed. Listen to Episode 33 of this podcast to learn more.
Show Notes
[2:00] Tom was the point person for the litigation of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
[2:25] Let’s get the other side of the story on this highly controversial issue.
[5:00] The media has a tendency to be skewed.
[5:45] Crude oil damages the environment, so why would it make sense for a crude oil pipeline to be constructed?
[11:20] The pipeline is underground, so how would it affect the tribe’s access to water? Does the pipeline ever come above ground?
[15:10] Why has there been such scrutiny towards this pipeline?
[18;40] People who are opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline are more anti-fossil fuels vs. pro-environment. How are those two things different?
[25:00] How did Tom and his company try to keep the peace when it came to trespassers?
[27:50] Protesters were attacking law enforcement.
[31:25] Why haven’t more people heard about this side of the story?
[36:00] How can listeners become more informed and find about the real truth of the situation?
[36:30] Get your information from more than one source.
