Private pipeline companies can build a pipeline in your backyard
Or through your drinking water supply
Thanks to the abuse by FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, of the government's power of eminent domain
The Appalachian Basin in West Pennsylvania holds some of the world's largest shale deposits
A fleet of ships would create a virtual transatlantic pipeline to supply Ineos' European businesses with the
U.S. gas they desperately needed
The only problem was how to get the gas to the coast
300 miles away
And so a deal was struck with oil company Sunoco to pipe the gas to a facility west of Philadelphia
Eminent domain
allows the government to take a person's land if it is for public use such as to build public roads, schools and parks
But FERC carrying on the U.S. American tradition of the stealing of indigenous lands for exploitative use
Allows the taking of a person's land for the private profit of pipeline and oil and gas companies
It was forest land that was actually under a conservation plan
and that's forest land connected to our homestead
and so now what's happening is that is being turned into an industrial zone. We've gone the legal route
I mean when they
Took us to court for eminent domain we we fought that
The oil and gas taken from underneath land is not always sold to people to heat their homes or keep the lights on
Much of it is sold for export
By private companies for private profit. Eight ships will make their way from Marcus Hook on the banks of the Delaware River
Loaded with a cargo set to re-energize
European and UK manufacturing
Like they never tried to hide that fact
until people stood up to them and said no
I will not you know sign this easement agreement. The company had to start taking people to court
and suing using eminent domain. Then they changed their tune and they started putting out all this stuff about how
it's gonna benefit the local markets and local people and
this and that and
You know we already know that they're working with
European petrochemical companies
to you know move the shale gas to Europe
A new era of gas transportation has begun as the dragons breathe new life into the European chemicals industry
Ineos isn't the type of company that will sit back and wait to see what happens
It's a type of company that will be proactive and define its own future
Off of exploitation you know that's how billions get made like you take from somebody else
You take from the earth without giving anything back. That's the direction that
Pennsylvania is
taking things in favor of corporations. We have at least three
legal avenues that we're still pursuing, but yet, you know they can come and they can
work they can cut trees down they can put pipeline then they can drill through the wetlands
with you know impunity at this point
He said the two words eminent domain which made my husband's head explode
They start sending out letters if you don't sign this easement within 30 days we will proceed
to condemn use eminent domain to condemn your property. It became apparent that I wasn't gonna sign then they threatened me twice
with eminent domain
Protesters marched directly up to a drill perched along the Conestoga River. Lancaster County does not think that the pipeline is welcome here
Williams is not welcome here
Respect these spirits respect the land I think it's an insult
You know I would definitely not go to other people's sites and try to
Destroy their home for the sake of money. As a tribal leader
I have to stay here, so by all means if they're gonna arrest me so be it. They are using us
as their bargaining chips to export
liquefied natural gas to Asia at the expense of Southern Oregon. Y'all want to try and come to move into Louisiana
Ya'll want to try to think about, you know, to try to gain our trust
Y'all can't even gain the trust of Ohio and Pennsylvania. What makes you all want to come to Louisiana, you know?
The agency says refineries in the region already have sufficient supplies and little capacity for processing more crude
And it says Minnesota's demand for gasoline appears unlikely to increase over the long term
This is gonna cross the Missouri and the Mississippi
rivers which 18 million people directly get their water from these two rivers
It is up to the citizens in the community to make sure that their water and their air stay healthy
So why can these oil and gas and pipeline companies
use eminent domain for private profit rather than the public good
Primarily FERC is rubber-stamping agency
Unfortunately funded by the projects that it approves so in order for it to keep existing
It has to keep approving projects. FERC is an incredibly abusive agency
that is totally in the pockets of the pipeline industry
They always put pipelines over people, pipelines over the environment and our natural resources
They are not to be trusted. Is the private profit of one company at the cost of climate change
clean air and water and people's land for the public good?
