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

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
