Tribal nations and Indigenous movements hope it will be a watershed moment for bolder actions, demanding the same fates for contentious pipeline projects such as&nbsp;Line 3&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Dakota Access pipeline,\u201d a columnist for the outlet noted last week.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental groups, it seems, are concerned that Biden is simply returning to Obama-era environmental standards, which were good at the time, but fall far short of those now demanded by the increasingly extremist environmental lobby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s policy catchphrases of \u2018America is back\u2019 and \u2018build back better\u2019 and his assurance to rich donors that \u2018nothing would fundamentally change\u2019 should also be cause for concern,\u201d the Guardian\u2019s columnist writes. \u201cA return to imagined halcyon days of an Obama presidency or to \u2018normalcy\u2019 \u2013 which for Indigenous peoples in the United States is everyday colonialism \u2013 isn\u2019t justice, nor is it the radical departure from the status quo we need to bolster Indigenous rights and combat the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/joe-biden-environment-canada-ben-cowan-337329f2ca5bed158d18cc1eaecd1fcc\">the Associated Press notes<\/a>, the Dakota Access pipeline is next on environmentalists\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpponents of the Dakota Access pipeline, which carries oil from North Dakota to a shipping point in Illinois, want Biden\u2019s U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to shut it down,\u201d the AP reported Tuesday. \u201cA&nbsp;federal appeals court&nbsp;ruled last week that the project must undergo a more thorough environmental review, known as an environmental impact statement, but it declined to shut the line down while the review is completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-62 Component-p-0-2-53\">They\u2019re also targeting the \u201cLine 3\u201d pipeline that runs through parts of North Dakota and Minnesota, and the \u201cLine 5\u201d pipeline that runs through Michigan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-62 Component-p-0-2-53\">\u201cOpponents of the Line 3 replacement pipeline in Minnesota are stepping up pressure on Biden. More than 100,000 people have signed a petition \u2014 promoted by Democratic U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York \u2013 calling on Biden to revoke a water permit. Opponents also marched Friday to the Corps\u2019 St. Paul office,\u201d the AP reports. \u201cLine 5\u2026carries oil and liquids used in propane from western Canada to refineries in the U.S. and Ontario. Line 5 moves about 23 million gallons (87 million liters) daily from Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Ontario, traversing parts of northern Michigan and Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Biden\u2019s decision to nix the Keystone XL pipeline has been costly for Democrats. In addition to lost jobs, the executive order has strained relationships with western and midwestern states and with labor unions, for whom the pipeline represented major opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
