Yes, there is a lot to be afraid of:
-Fossil fuel interests using eminent domain to run a pipeline across your
land
-Frackers setting up operations next to your land and ruining the
local air and
water quality
-Pipelines uphill from your land that spring a leak
-Coal operations that need a place to store their
ash, pet coke, or other noxious materials
Feel free to add to my list, I'm going to go hide under my bed.
