Obviously you just didn't watch the indians protesting this all these years, it was on television, in the papers, in the courts, and the indians won again, no pipeline.
I watched it. And I understand their position, although it was hidden by other issues. It was about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. They wanted to be paid for access across reservation land. Had they been offered dinero, they would have forgotten about the other issues.
But again, that is just my opinion.
UPDATE SORRY: There is no pipeline, not because of Native Americans. But because of Biden's energy policy and his planned transition to electric vehicles.
Again, it's about $$$$$$$$$. If gasoline costs $7 a gallon, people will more easily transition to an electric vehicle. So, tighten the screws and watch gas prices sky rocket. Only one consequence to that. As gas and oil go up, so does across the board inflation, while slowing industrial economic growth.
HOPE IS MOTIVATION; REALITY IS PROFIT
