Maybe this guy could get help from the Saudi government to fund his treehouse efforts.

Why....I thought all the keyboard conservatives would be supportive of a citizen's right to decide how and who uses his property. A couple hundred foot wide swath through a forest would pretty much ruin it.

Texas should just start issuing tags for “Masked Tree Sitters”, one male, one female per season, open all year.

Was the man compensated for HIS land? Or did the gov’t just take it?
From the way this reads, this is still his property, he just now has no rights.

From the article: “TransCanada’s lawsuit suggests the company might seek up to $500,000 in damages.
That knocked the fight out of Daniel. He and TransCanada struck an agreement, which neither Daniel nor the company will discuss.”
As a fella said, “Follow the money.”
I suspect his “noble” resistance hinged on how much money he could extract from TransCanada.

One word: Chainsaw. Would that end up being a Texas Chainsaw Massacre? What a moron. Did his materials fall from the sky? My guess is a lot of it came by some means of transportation involving “fossil” fuels. Just how many dinosaurs were there anyway? Must have been gazillions of them.
Share the lead.

I think the guy is silly but at least he is acting on something he believes.

From the comments on the NPR page, it looks like this property has an easement running through it, which evidently the previous owner granted to the company building the pipeline. The current tree-sitting idiot owner bought the land subject to the easement.
This smells like a deliberate maneuver by some eco-nazi organization. The "owner" even looks like one of the timber industry protesters from the Pacific Northwest, who are known to use similar methods.

“to get him to allow us rightfully and lawfully onto the easement.”
Sounds like he sold them an easement and changed his mind or something.
It looks like a 3’ line, typically takes about a 50’ swath. A few years & no one will be able to tell where it is.

Derlly, one of your neighbors moved to Texas.
Hope you’re doing okay Derlly.
Ping, treehouse nuttery by a “Texan”.

Why....I thought all the keyboard conservatives would be supportive of a citizen's right to decide how and who uses his property. One would if it were his property.
From what I can tell from the rather pitifully written article the pipeline is being constructed on a PUBLIC EASEMENT which passes through his property.....
so the constuction isn't taking place on his property after all.

The article title I posted is incorrect. I typo’d “keystone” into “keystine”

The more oil on the market, the less pressure on all consumers, the price will go down for all. The more non-Mideast oil on the market, the world becomes less of a hostage to the inevitable regional disturbances. I long for the day when the USA is no longer a de facto Mideast country.
