Nebraska Judge Halts TransCanada’s Use Of Eminent Domain For Keystone Route

A Nebraska judge has issued a temporary injunction barring TransCanada from using eminent domain to force landowners to sell rights allowing the proposed Keystone XL pipeline on their property.

The company said that 90 percent of Nebraska landowners along the route have accepted “generous” offers to allow the pipeline on their land.  “With that said, we are committed to working respectfully with all landowners as shown by today’s decision to stay eminent domain actions until there is a final resolution of the plaintiffs’ claims,” said Cooper.
