In the group in favor of installing the pipeline, we could see a pattern where people argued that this pipeline would create many jobs, improve countries' economies, and increase the flow of energy and oil in North America. In the group against installation, we could see a pattern, where people claimed that the installation of this pipeline would negatively impact nature and encourage the use of fossil fuels that would stimulate global warming.
