LINCOLN — Hearings over the proposed route of the Keystone XL pipeline ended Thursday morning with its developer, TransCanada, saying the $8 billion project is in Nebraska’s best interests and opponents saying it’s only about profits for a foreign corporation.
Jane Kleeb, the founder of anti-pipeline group Bold Nebraska, fought back tears as she told reporters that opponents will go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to block allowing a foreign corporation the use of eminent domain against farmers and ranchers for the pipeline route.
“We are a family. We are not going to let a foreign corporation who only cares about the bottom line break this family apart,” Kleeb said. “We are not going to let an inch of foreign steel touch Nebraska soil.”
About 40 landowners standing behind her broke into cheers at that statement, just outside the hearing room in the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel.
