Members of the MAIN Coalition gathered this morning to express their support for the Dakota Access Pipeline and to spread awareness of the importance of a modern energy infrastructure. The event came a few days after the announcement of an IUB public meeting to discuss the pipeline permit application for the state, and a day after the North Dakota PSC announced their approval of their piece of the project. The utility agencies of South Dakota and Illinois had previously decided to approve their parts of the route. The men and women assembled at the State Capitol emphasized the benefits that the project would bring to the state’s economy and infrastructure.
