Yeah, didn't think so.


I suspect they aren't planning on routing Keystone through school yards. As for my backyard, while no one likes having their land taken via eminent domain, it would be much preferable to lose a portion of my land to a pipeline right of way than to, say, the ICC or the Purple Line, or even an electric transmission line, of which we will need many if renewable energy is ever to be a significant option. (Hint: pipelines typically run underground; most of the things your land can be condemned for are above-ground, noisy, or both) But thanks for playing.


They don't take your land by eminent domain for this. They give you money and sign a lease, at least that is what we did with our property in PA.


They would though, if you refused and they didn't have a workaround. That's what eminent domain is for.
