Basically everything Mark tweeted is wrong. It is a natural gas pipeline (it won't "spill"). They are drilling under the river to avoid impacting it. The River is not "The most pristine river in the Northern Hemisphere" it is heavily logged and crossed over by bridges for logging
Like every other pipeline, they say they won’t spill & they always do.

A reminder, that U.N. Racism Committee is not the U.N., it is a single committee dominated by states seeking to distract the world from their own domestic racism issues.
