PennEast pipeline crushing all opposition with judges help

snip> "Pennsylvania’s “last holdout landowner” must provide PennEast access to her Carbon County property for a land survey and possible construction of a controversial 120-mile natural gas pipeline, ruled a federal judge who granted the company eminent domain last week."

snip> "The eminent domain ruling is the first for PennEast, whose natural gas pipeline would cut through Northampton County on its way from Luzerne County to Mercer County in New Jersey. The company had filed 51 eminent domain lawsuits in February against landowners in Pennsylvania. The other 50 agreed to allow PennEast to conduct land surveys, but if the pipeline is built they could still face eminent domain proceedings."
