Beyond Nuclear - Human Rights What's New

It's not "just" the chemical toxicity of Bakken crude oil, and the risks that represents for human health, safety, and the environment. (See the posts below, re: the resistance of indigenous environmental defenders, as at Standing Rock Sioux Tribe lands, and their supporters, against the so-called Dakota Access Pipeline.)

It's not "just" the bomb train (or bomb pipeline) potential of the volatile Bakken crude oil.

It's not even "just" the climate chaos time bomb the burning of Bakken crude oil represents.

It's also the hazardous radioactivity of Bakken, and other, oilfield wastes:
