Dakota Access Pipeline - Wikipedia
quote:
The route begins in the Bakken oil fields in northwest North Dakota...
This is tar sand oil, and there is still a lot of sand in the relatively thick sludge being pumped down the pipes ... sandpaper anyone?
No, it's not tar sand oil. That would be from up in Alberta.
In addition there are remnant traces of the toxic chemicals used in the fracking process.
This may very well true, but as I understand it, fracking is not involved in tar sands production. That said, tar sands production probably does have their own obnoxious chemicals (maybe even some of the same chemicals). I'm guessing that tar sands crude would be far worse than the Bakken crude.
I'm not at all pro-pipeline, but you had at least one substation factual error there.
