If you owned property along the pipeline route would you just GIVE them the easements and land they need for the project?
These land owners have been dealing with this issue a long time. they did not arrive on the scene yesterday to try to stop the project.
The landowners get a LOT of money for the priviledge of letting the pipe be dug, then covered over. They lose nothing on the surface. The rest? The hype? All propaganda by the democrat-enviro’s.
The democrats will do anything to stop the pipeline. To them, it is a religion. Which, of course, they deny to the rest of us.
I have family in this area.
It is ranch country, and they are very concerned that the pipelines will leak and the clean up end up being on the land owners.
That has happened before when some of the smaller pipelines and refineries went under.
To be honest, they are very cautious about any easements out there. To much history and to little water.
No. Sell it or lease it if the terms were favorable, but not give it away.
