That's a dumb logic in that ruling. Is a new pipeline company "not a pipeline company" because they are not presently transporting oil via pipes? Somehow I doubt new pipelines are subject to the same legal hurdles in Texas.
That's a legal standard that, in addition to being total nonsense, likely violates Federal antitrust law.
