-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
EARLIER THIS MONTH [SEPTEMBER], THE "AMERICAN PETROLEUM
INSTITUTE" RELEASED A STUDY ON THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF A "DAKOTA ACCESS
PIPELINE"-SHUTDOWN. IT FINDS THAT A SHUTDOWN COULD CAUSE TAX-REVENUES TO GO DOWN, AND UNEMPLOYMENT TO GO
UP--WHILE ALSO THREATENING NATIONAL SECURITY. CRAIG STEVENS REPRESENTS
"GROW AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE NOW"...
(STEVENS):
"SHUTTING DOWN THE
'DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE' WOULD HURT OUR NATION'S ECONOMY--BY BRINGING ABOUT HIGHER ENERGY-COSTS.
SPECIFICALLY, ACCORDING TO 'A-P-I', ABOUT THREE-THOUSAND JOBS WOULD BE CUT, OVER THE NEXT YEAR-AND-A-HALF.
AND, IT WOULD MAKE OUR COUNTRY--AND WORLD--MORE RELIANT ON FOREIGN SOURCES OF
OIL--TIPPING THE SCALES IN FAVOR OF COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN, VENEZUELA, AND EVEN RUSSIA.
WE SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT OUR NATION'S ENERGY- AND NATIONAL-SECURITY AT RISK; THE
'DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE' MUST REMAIN OPERATIONAL."
