Leaders for Life
When private pipeline companies are armed with the secretive power of Eminent Domain, property rights no longer exist. In 2018, landowners across the pristine Texas Hill Country began to receive visits and telephone calls from agents working for Kinder Morgan - a billion dollar energy company armed with the secretive power of Eminent Domain. These agents wanted their land, to construct a 430-mile natural gas pipeline that would span Texas and blaze directly through one of the most environmentally sensitive areas in the US. For those in its path, the battle for property rights, the environment and the very idea of what it means to be a Texan were all at stake. —John Claiborne Brown
