I know that, but many don’t like the “deal”.

And if I am forced to give a my land to a company for their profit, what type of deal is that?

Again, there are lots of good people on both sides (and some aholes). The jobs will be temporary, and the company doesn’t have the best safety record (which is not uncommon in the oil fields). Couple that with it being a foreign company on both sides, and some ranchers and farmers are worried they will be stuck with a huge spill in a decade or so that they will have to pay for.

If the land owner sells them the land, so be it. But I do not like the idea that has crept in here that you can seize someones land, give it to someone else, because the State (or the donors to the State) say they have a better use for that land.

Where does that end? If they can force you off your land to give to a foreign company, with many foreign workers, how is that going to end?

We aren't talking hotels and motels redgolum ... We are talking about pipelines. Oil is Prosperity. Want prosperity ... Build the Pipeline. It will be a start to supply jobs. To me jobs are important.
