Sierra Club, Bold Nebraska, and the National Wildlife Federation have joined Senator Mike Johanns in criticizing a Canadian pipeline company for what they called threatening letters to Nebraska landowners on the route for a proposed 36-inch crude-oil pipeline.  Sen. Johanns chastised the company, TransCanada, for the letters that threatened to use eminent domain to gain easements for the pipeline unless landowners agreed to terms within 30 days.
