U.S.A. LANDOWNERS' LAWSUITS AGAINST TRANSCANADA KEYSTONE XL MOVE FORWARD
by Lauren Conley Story Created: Jul 22, 2013
The future of the Keystone XL Pipeline hinges on three Nebraska landowners.
A lawsuit filed against the state is moving forward in court. According to a statement from Bold Nebraska, the suit challenges the constitutionality of LB 1161.
That's the Nebraska law that approves eminent domain and the pipeline route through the state.
Bold Nebraska claims this will have a significant impact on the national debate of the pipeline.
Landowner and plaintiff, Randy Thompson said in a prepared statement:
"If we are successful in our lawsuit TransCanada will have to start the Keystone XL siting process over again so it would be premature for the State Department to issue a final EIS when the route across Nebraska remains very much in question."
The landowners say they won't accept a threat to their land, water and livelihood without a fight.
The lawsuit will be heard on September 27th..
