Press conference Wednesday morning outside FERC offices to feature landowner-plaintiffs and their attorney, and regional organizers
Washington, D.C. — Landowners whose farms and homes are in the path of the proposed Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley fracked gas pipelines will hold a press conference on Wednesday outside the D.C. offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), to announce their filing of a lawsuit against FERC to end the abuse of eminent domain for private gain for fracked gas pipelines.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Washington D.C. federal district court, on behalf of 57 Landowners, Bold Alliance and Friends of Nelson, challenges the constitutionality of the eminent domain provisions of the Natural Gas Act, and seeks to end the unconstitutional and unconscionable process of taking citizens’ private property via eminent domain for a corporation’s profits — and not for “the public good” as the Constitution intended.
