#2 Just a few crumbs, m'lord.
And a couple seats on various commissions.
And some set-asides for the, uh, community.
And a bag of cash. Large bills, non-sequential, please.

#3 I see the WashTimes is pulling the same crap PJ Media does with the stupid 'Load More' button at the bottom of the page, which gave me... two extra words. Annoying as all get-out.

What I wanted to know - how much of a difference between the two routes in miles? In other words, is this a really big deal or just more media sensationalism & exaggeration?

#4 Well Raj, they won't show you a map and without that the article is worthless.

#6 Thanks, B. Two questions not answered in the article

1) Is there something special about Sand Hills? Maybe.

2) Do they drop the whole project or take what they can get and get on with it? Either way that pipeline goes they're still gonna make money, aren't they?

#7 Usually pipeline royalties to the landowner are a one-time, so many dollars per foot of pipe.

#8 It's a good idea not to go through the sandhills for many many reasons.
1) There are not many damn roads in the sandhills and it pretty hard to maintain anything in them.
2) You could screw up the nation's largest and most ag important aquifer really easily with a spill in that sand.
3) The land is very fragile.
4) It would actually be easier and safer to build and maintain on the approved route.
