First off, talk to a lawyer. Initial consultation is free. I am not a lawyer.
I am told that the company does not necessarily have the right to take our land through Eminent Domain. Why should they anyway? It's ours. And the project is not in the public's interest.
The project is NOT one of national energy security. Instead it is a project that will make the company and its shareholders more money. I read that the CEO of the company hopes to export the product overseas.
NGL (natural gas liquids) are used as feedstock to the petrochemical industry for making plastics, etc. We cannot heat our houses or greenhouses with it in the form it will be transported in. So, contrary to the rumors, we won't be able to tap into it for farm or residential use.
Furthermore, I have read that this company does NOT have to even prove that this NGL pipeline is needed! If they don't have to prove it is needed, how on God's green Earth can they pretend that they have the right to take our land.
Then there is the safety issue. The very recent big Louisiana petrochem plant explosion was a Williams facility. Google this...warning, it ain't pretty: williams company pipeline explosions
All I wanna do is continue to farm my land without interference from this money-grubbing company.
Respectfully,
Tim

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
