Why You Should Care

Sets Personal Rights Abuse Precedent

While you may not be a landowner directly affected today; the misuse of eminent domain to take land for a corporation’s profits opens the door to more blatant abuse of personal rights.

Threatens Safety of Families and Communities

You may not be worried about a pipeline on your property, but a compressed carbon dioxide pipeline of this size and scale threatens the safety of families and communities within miles.

Poses Undue Risk to Devastating Impacts

Compressed carbon dioxide pipelines are more dangerous than other transport pipelines. The risk in the event of a rupture could be devastating: a lethal cloud of carbon dioxide able to travel miles affecting crops, livestock, or encompassing entire communities – causing debilitating injuries or even death.

Think this would never happen?
