And they always speak as though they have one voice, but there’s usually serious dissent.
The Keystone Pipeline was supported by many “natives” (they aren’t that native), and the ones that didn’t were mostly upset that they plotted it around their reservation, cutting them out of financial gain.
Simultaneously you had Buffett and the railroads trying to use the State to kill it, lest they lose the business of transporting what would be in the pipeline.
Of course that’s never how it’s framed, but that’s how it is. There’s a reasonable amount of skepticism and scrutiny that should be applied to technology and new infrastructure, but the people demanding a return to the Stone Age must be wholly defeated…
quoting note1yyu…y928Most of the electricity in my area of the USA is produced by hydroelectric dams that harness the power of gravity to generate electricity without pollution.

Native Americans are anti-civilization. They're still butt hurt that civilization conquered their stone age ancestors who hadn't even invented the wheel yet.
They believe that harnessing nature in any way to make human life better is evil. Even though today they wear our clothes, eat our food, use our technology, and generally benefit from everything that civilization has built. Hypocrites.
