"fairly" obviously not in their mind or they wouldn't be getting taken to court!Its their land dude. That's my problem. Americans are getting sued by trans Canada to use their land against their will. I don't give a fuck if its just an easement. Its their property and trans Canada isn't even AMERICAN.Im not much for semantics of my arguments. Some people don't want that shit in their back yard. Its their fucking property. And while ED might be necessary in some cases, it shouldn't include a FOREIGN company.I have done told you. Its a foreign company using American courts to FORCE Americans to give up their land to said company. Its a foreign company, they shouldn't use our laws against us.
having an easement is not ownership. Do you think the utility companies OWN the easements on your property?
What is the name of this "foreign company"? that you are so pissed about.
where do you live? Half of Hawaii is owned by Japanese and Chinese, as is a large portion of California. Giving an easement via ED is not ownership. Geez man, you are making a fool of yourself here.
The pipelines built in the USA and will create American jobs. Eminent domain has pros and cons, always has. In this case most people believe that the pros outweigh the cons. You differ, and that's just fine. But the pipeline will be built, crude will flow safely to American refineries both from Canada and the USA, and the landowners will be fairly compensated for the use of their land.
BTW, AGW is a hoax. The world will run on fossil fuels for many years to come and man is not changing the climate of planet earth. But, having said that, we should be pursuing all forms of energy and going balls to the wall with them when they become financially viable.
I agree with the second paragraph.
