Bill Gates owns the most farmland
Chyna has been buying up TONS of farmland (ship food back home)
Food prices are DIRECTLY correlated to gas.
It takes GAS to produce and transport our food

The other big pipeline coming out of the region is the Dakota Access Pipeline DAPL it has been stopped from transporting oil (Bakken Oil) due to a EPA and faulty construction claim dispute I believe.
If these pipelines shut down it will absolutely effect feed stock pricing for refineries and eventually effect fuel prices. Another interesting tidbit is that the one beneficiary of these shutdowns would be the railroads who would take up the slack in tranporting the oil. The main rail company coming out of the region is BNSF owned by non other than Warren Buffet.
