Good question.

Simply because no land is taken.

A pipe is buried, the land goes back to the owner and farming goes on.

And if you as a landowner want no part of that?

Simply because no land is taken YET.

TransCanada Corp., the Canadian company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, filed eminent domain proceedings against an estimated 90 Nebraska landowners Tuesday to secure the right to build the controversial project across their property.

I would be okay with it.

No hidden costs to landowners

TransCanada covers all costs associated with:

• Property taxes assessed on the pipeline
• Pipeline construction, operation and maintenance
• Property restoration

Keystone Fact

For Keystone XL, 100 percent of easements in Montana and South Dakota have been acquired voluntarily from private landowners.

And what if a landowner isn't ok with it?

Since they're pursuing eminent domain in Nebraska, the OP's question stands.

Where's all the Bundy group outrage at land grabs by foreign companies on US soil?

“I didn’t appreciate getting a letter at Christmastime saying, ‘Sign up now, because all offers will be off the table,’” said Nancy Allpress, whose family farm is bisected by the proposed pipeline route and who will be part of the suit against TransCanada.

“It’s our land,” said Allpress, whose farm has been in her husband’s family since 1886. “This is a foreign-owned company coming in and exercising eminent domain against our will for a project we believe is of no benefit to the United States. TransCanada has behaved like bullies with threatening tactics.”

It's so nice when a foreign company can take land from American citizens eh? Funny thing is that if Obama did this these same ding dongs would be drawing photos of him with a crown on his head and talking about how he is selling out American to foreign interests . Clive Bundy isn't doing anything because he is a simple minded buffoon who has about as much intelligence as the cattle he breeds
