I appreciate the attempt to come up with a solution like that, but that isn’t reasoned either. I think you know that.

The pipeline needs to go in a fairly straight line for economic reasons. You can’t triple the cost of the pipeline by swerving back and forth and all around to avoid having to use someone’s back 40 to get the job done.

No !
I don't "know that" .

If the people don't want to sell to a company, it's their RIGHT to keep what they own.
If the company really wants the property, then they can up their offer, our get a neighbor close by to sell their land.
