•     "The government, or other authority, obtains property rights through condemnation proceedings, in which the landowner has the right of due process. However, eminent domain does not authorize the seizure of someone’s property without compensation – in fact, it requires that just compensation be paid to the landowner for his or her property. And, in some cases, private property owners can actually receive more for their property than it may be worth."

•    "The growth in domestic natural gas production from shale formations over the past decade has created tremendous consumer and environmental benefits. According to an October 2019 analysis by the White House Council of Economic Advisors, the shale revolution "has reduced the domestic price of natural gas by 63 percent as of 2018 and led to a 45 percent decrease in the wholesale price of electricity…." The same analysis found that from 2005-2017, "the shale revolution lowered energy related emissions by 527 million metric tons per year, or 9 percent of GHG emissions in 2005. This contributed to a greater decline in GHG and particulate emissions in the United States than in the European Union over that period." Without the ability to develop the required energy infrastructure efficiently -- including the very limited use of eminent domain -- to bring this natural gas to market, these consumer and environmental savings would not be possible."
