On the upside, more people are pushing back. There is a big fight developing just North of us (NYS) where a gas pipeline is coming through. It isn't a big deal if your property is large enough to accomodate it, since natural gas pipelines are usually pretty safe. Unfortunately, the present route goes through one families' mature timber stand and anothers' small river bounded property which will become unsuitable for building. There has to be a better way to do this stuff. If they started by asking property owners if they'd consider hosting the line and base their route on willingness to participate, they'd possibly do better. They would rather use lawyers and government to push folks around though.
