Used domestically and "benefit" can be different.

Typically they are different, I suspect. The Texas law suits seemingly are another approach to challange the notion that the exportation of crude oil is a public and paramount beneficiary or an avenue to line the pockets of the shareholders of the pipeline company.

They won't go anywhere. I guess what I was saying without saying it is the product doesn't have to be consumed or refined in in the US for the carrier to be granted common carrier status. Thus, the right of eminent domain.

I understand what you are saying and do agree that they will not get too far like beyound the district courts.

Do you think that the high court will ever reconsider the Kelo decision?

So you're telling me the debate here is whether pipeline's are the most efficient way to get a liquid from their source to the place where we have to do work on them and then to the place where they are sold....as opposed to something like trucks I guess.

dumb debate.

Yes, it will be overturned in time but it will be to limit the practice of expropriation, not eliminate.

25 years ago pipeline companies didn't give two shits whether they reached a deal with the landowner or not. The railroad was even worse! Today, they will do almost anything to avoid litigation.

Construction will be able to continue. A 2-1 decision of the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the district court's ruling that favored the envioronmental groups.
