Abstract
The relative stability of land acquisition enjoyed by purveyors of natural gas in Pennsylvania may soon be compelled to find alternative siting options in light of growing opposition. It is widely settled that the business of transporting and selling natural gas in domestic or foreign markets for ultimate distribution to the public is in the public’s interest and therefore confers the right of eminent domain. With fourteen projects currently pending before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), located to some extent in the Commonwealth, the right to exercise the power of eminent domain for the siting necessities of natural gas pipelines is basic to the success of a project.
