Endangered Wild Rice

The pipeline projects are threatening wild rice production in USA...

“The Headwaters is one of the greatest rivers in the world,” Smith said,
Native American tribes have opposed the project because it cuts through sacred wild rice beds.
“Prime Anishinabe wild rice beds would be right by the pipeline,” he said.
Smith said $2 billion in property values in the Fishhook watershed are potentially at stake from Hay Creek to downtown Park Rapids, if a pipeline were to burst.

Once upon a  time there could been no eminent domain takings by government for private use.  Once upon a time there could be no pollution from one property spilling over to another.  But in democracy, you get chaos.  Instead of patterns and practices which fundamentally curb malinvestment and misallocation (sands fracking and pipelines unneeded) we get sinecures built on maintaining pollution (carbon offset.)
