LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline are asking Nebraska state regulators to revoke the land easements granted to the company across private land now that the project has officially been scrapped.

Attorneys for Bold Nebraska and the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska made the request in a letter to the Nebraska Public Service Commission, which approved the pipeline’s proposed route in 2017. Attorneys Ken Winston and Brad Jolly say the commission has an obligation to protect the property rights of landowners that are threatened as long as the route approval remains in effect.

The attorneys say the current situation with developer TC Energy limits landowners’ ability to use and develop their property and has a negative impact on its economic viability.

I'm going to remember this little display of NIMBYism the next time you wonder why America seems utterly incapable of building high-speed rail.

Why does the TC energy want the easement if they cant have a pipeline?

Because they CAN have the pipeline once President Donald Trump is returned to office in either January 2025 or August 2021.

-habebe They just recently admitted defeat thus allowing people to use own land.

"Trump is returned to office in either January 2025 or August 2021."

That depends entirely on how the easement contract is worded and when/if the landowners were paid and what the intended use is.
