Carbon Dioxide Pipelines in the MidWest - Will they have hang-ups, too?

Well, welcome back to a beginning of a new week!  We hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Did anyone read on the internet from Yahoo! News last week about the reprint of the New York Times article,” A Different Kind of Pipeline Project Scrambles Midwest Politics” from March 20, 2023.   It’s pretty interesting because it speaks about the same kind of complaints people made about other pipelines like landowners not wanting it to cross their property, and it might be dangerous.  The same groups that protested against the Keystone XL and the Dakota Access Pipelines are joining forces once more against Summit Carbon Solutions proposed approximately 2,000-mile carbon dioxide pipeline which would be crossing five states to be stored underground in North Dakota.  I guess after getting all this bad press Summit Carbon Solutions wanted to let everyone know it is making progress with the carbon dioxide pipeline.  Today Summit Carbon Solutions announced they’ve acquired 70% of the pipeline route from North Dakota landowners by voluntary easement agreements. It sounds like the rest may be an uphill battle, but check out the article and see what you think.  Is this the partial solution to climate change?
