So in late January, (click here) after TransCanada filed paperwork to begin using eminent domain to acquire land from owners who didn't agree to sell easement rights, landowners sued. Kleeb says about 40 landowners in Holt County and another 20 in York County object to the pipeline on their property. TransCanada says it has approvals from 90 percent of Nebraska landowners along the pipeline's path....
TransCanada has touted their own facts in the matter. It states all the property owners have signed on to the pipeline. Under duress. The company believed it had the right to eminent domain. And in believing that, it has warped the facts to reflect it's wrongful powers and Mitch McConnell only validates the lies.
...Not all landowners see TransCanada as cooperative. In South Dakota, rancher Paul Seamans says he initially opposed Keystone because of the way the company "treated us, bullied us." Now, he says he's also concerned about the potential environmental damage, citing possible pipeline spills into waterways and the climate change impact of using the fuel extracted from Canada's oil sands....
There is a disconnect between the US Congress and the State Department assessment that is suppose to be a friend to TransCanada. The Congess and State Department assessment concerns itself with the border crossing and not the problems within that decision.
It is an increasing problem with the environmental assessments of the US Army Corp and US Fish and Wildlife. There is increasing pressure on these agencies to LIMIT their assessment to 'the system' they are assigned to assess. In other words, the PRODUCT coming into the USA with high levels of danger to the land and air is NOT to be considered a part of the assessment. Literally, the processes of assessment is becoming hostile to the people of the USA.
It has been my experience as of late the opposing assessment regardless of it's validity is simply explained away by the US Army Corp who sides with the city and their demands for the work to be done. I am on the verge of sending my assessment to the White House to prove the level of deceit that currently exists in the assessment process.
Global Warming has no borders. It is an assessment LACKING within the State Department document and that is why the legal challenges to this stupid project exists. Somehow the jurisdiction of the USA doesn't consider the air mass over the USA a part of the global warming problem. It is sovereign air mass that simply has found a home to prove the USA is not the problem to the rest of the world.
The country's legislature excluding very capable Senators found in Whitehouse and Boxer simply thinks today is another great day in the USA. It isn't. There are citizens at all corners of the country suffering from the wicked weather that comes along with the warming of Earth. If Cornyn says there is nothing to be done to END greenhouse gas emissions or at the very least impact the greenhouse gas emissions of the USA, well by god it is law. It is a real question to find out if Cornyn knows how to spell physics. And if he does, what is his application of the word, constipation?
The words of scientists have gone unheeded for decades, over half a century and to that end the very infrastructure the USA counts on, is being destroyed. It is being destroyed not by Boko Harem or Daesh, but, the very cold of the Arctic Ocean when it comes to visit the northeast USA. Let Cornyn assess that battle and we might actually find the worst enemy the USA has to face is itself and it's unwillingness to modify the energy sector to end it's emissions to the troposphere.
