I understand easements and such. There are lots of pipelines within 30 miles of me and closest is about 4 miles. Some are large and some small. Have several lines that were built in the 60's and then a second line is beside that now. Some follow main power line routes. Can always tell where they are at a glance because there are no trees. And forrest on both side.
When they were put in we never heard of much resistance against them being built. In recent years we seen explosions like the one in Appomattox Va. and have 3 different lines being surveyed now and in several places folks won't let them survey. Just last month an explosion occurred in WVa. and that line was just 1 year old. So now no one wants to live beside one.
I've never been against pipelines and still not. I also understand eminent domain and that has to be used at times. I just don't agree for another country to be able to condemn property in our country to lay their pipeline. How long before China and Russia want to build one. In America everything is for sale on the world market.
LAA We have one line that comes out of Texas through here to I think Norfolk Va. that runs refined fuel to that area. Just seems like the long way around for this oil that comes on trains now to go to the gulf coast and then back across the country. Thanks for explaining that to me.
I know this is a very political subject. I try and not add that to what's going on because I have read what property owners mainly in the 6 state area of the Ogallala Aquifer say. Many depend on that to farm. I know pipelines are safer than trains. But I also know pipelines can break open. Not often they do but can. It may not take but once for that to happen in that area to end farming for so many. So if that were to happen is the pipeline still worth building? I don't think so when there are other routes that can be taken. So I'll stand with the farmers on this one.
