Rover Pipe Sues FERC Over $20M Fine for Demolishing This Old House

You have GOT to be kidding! In 2015 Energy Transfer's Rover Pipeline purchased an old house in Ohio that was crumbling and falling down, intending to fix it up and use it for offices. The company later decided to demolish it. The old house was on a list to be considered as a National Historic Place, even though the local fire department considered burning it down as a training exercise it was so dilapidated. Because this particular old house was potentially considered "historic," Rover went through all sorts of hell and ended up paying a $2.3 million fine. Then Richard "Dick" Glick took over at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and decided to drag that case out yet again, this time fining Rover $20 million for something long ago settled (see FERC’s Dick Glick Shakes Down Rover Pipe for Past Settled Sins)! Rover is now fighting back, taking FERC (and Glick) to court.
