>> Its sounds like this winger prof was paid off:

There is no evidence he is a "winger" or that he was paid by anyone.

More importantly, the guy has dedicated his ENTIRE career to studying that particular aquifer and is acknowledged as the most knowledgeable person on the subject. You think he's going to throw it all away for no good reason at all?

And finally, in several articles he lays out with specificity the precise reason the aquifer is not exposed and in fact, refers to it as a "physical impossibility" that substantial damage to the aquifer would be done even if a spill did occur. He has also pointed out that the water contained in the aquifer is so vast that only 1/2 of 1% of that water has been used thus far by Nebraskans.

He really lays waste to the idea that the aquifer has anything at all to do with the refusal to permit the pipeline.
