Real estate LAW - natural gas pipeline?

Janus owns a farm on the route for a new natural gas pipeline. He has been notified that the pipeline developer has the right (easement) to come onto his property to lay the pipe and to visit in future for pipeline maintenance.

Janus thinks natural gas is a dangerous substance and sees the pipeline as a hazard for his farm and family. He is strongly opposed to the pipeline being anywhere near his farm.

• Is the pipeline a justified imposition on landowners such as Janus along its route?

• Should Janus be able to refuse permission to use his land?

• Should he be able to claim increased compensation for the use of his land because of his opposition to natural gas?
