What does Obama have against low gas prices???
What do you have against the rights of property owners?

If land owners were happily receiving money then the companies wouldn't be using eminent domain to seize that property.

Eminent Domain is designed to be used when a few recalcitrant people refuse to provide a right-of-way that is for the common good. If a hundred landowners are smart enough to take money for the pipeline that will not even be visible a year after its installation,.
why should the entire project be held up by a few
A oil pipe line is not common good,especially one for export.
No private company has any business using eminent domain especially a foreign owned entity. It doesn't matter if one property owner or a thousand refuse to sell.

If you respect property rights then you should oppose this pipeline.
How is a pipeline for the fossil fuel sector a common good?
If there were suddenly no fossil fuel, you would starve to death within a month.
No, because I would use a can of Ubik to create an energy source with a future; like fusion.
Fossil fuels will become as extinct as their ancestors, eventually.
So what? We still have the pollution problems with fossil fuels that tend to require socialism to bailout capitalism, with the (other) Peoples' money.
If this is the case, highways, railroads, subways, city streets, power lines, stadiums, schools and all the rest also need to be opposed, also.
We have problems with every type of fuel, so what??
Administration again delays Keystone pipeline decision
just how much more time? 5 years isn't enough time to make a decision?. I guess not - not till we are safely past the midterms :roll:
The only thing that has any business being used for eminent domain is public roads. Power lines use public easements.
When I lived in Minneapolis, the freeway was routed to run through blighted areas. I assumed that the properties demolished to build it were privately owned before they were not.
I felt the same was true of the freeways routed through Indy. Pretty rough neighborhoods around the Freeways. A thoroughfare 15 lanes wide seems a bit more than an easement.

Fossil fuels cannot deliver the scale economies fusion can; fusion's future is so bright, it may have to wear shades.
Please, this nonsense again? Your screed in this regard has been so thoroughly debunked, why persist?
Unicorn power! :lamo
A freeway is a public road.So I have no problem with eminent domain being used for that. A public school or government office can be built in another location or it's floor plan altered to adjust for the property they couldn't buy.
