These folks have been fighting the corporate influence of Summit for years now. Because they have been open about their struggles with the company, it has helped other landowners stand up too. They show what's possible when you stand up to bullies. #carbonpipeline

The pro-pipeline crowd is trying to blur the facts. They outspent our coalition by 11 - 1 & still lost 60%-40% at the ballot box last fall. They had millions of outside dollars, slick PR firms, and still lost. #SouthDakota doesn't like bullies. #ccs #carbonpipeline #carboncapture

Pipeline opponents ask utilities regulators to discard Summit permits • Iowa Capital Dispatch The IUC held its first monthly public commission meeting since August 2023, and heard public comment from landowners opposed to a pipeline.

Happy to see that the Iowa PUC is holding public meetings again after a 2-year hiatus #transparency #carbonpipeline #ccs iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/08/20/p...

New CEO but has anything really changed? SD still doesn't want this project. #carboncapture #carbonpipeline

Low-carbon jet fuel executive says company could 'copy and paste' SD plan to ND site • South Dakota Searchlight The demand for jet fuel is going up. The demand for gasoline is going down. That’s the explanation from Chris Ryan, the president and chief operating officer of Gevo.

There are a lot of ND folks who don't want the Summit #carbonpipeline either, despite Gevo's comments. And Summit can't get their easements in IA either, so there are numerous barriers to their "sexy" aviation fuel plans southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/06/10/l... #carboncapture #CCS #45Q

VIEWPOINT | What good is a petition if the county commission refuses to listen? Guest column by Catherine Hoss, a Lake County landowner and is a member of Dakota Rural Action

Great opinion piece calling out the Lake County Commission for ignoring citizens' concerns from DRA member Catherine Hoss, calling it "stunning disregard for their constituents." www.thedakotascout.com/p/viewpoint-... #carbonpipeline #localcontrol

Tell Congress no federal eminent domain for #CO2 pipelines! This will override the state & local laws that South Dakotans have worked so hard to implement! #carbonpipeline #eminentdomain

Take a few minutes to listen to folks from Satartia MS talk about their experience when a #CO2 pipeline running through their community ruptured in 2020. There are serious threats to public health & safety www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yqg... #carbonpipeline

Thank you for this coverage @dakotanewsnow.com! It's telling that neither the county commission nor the state's attorney would provide comment for this story. The lack of transparency & accountability is appalling #carbonpipeline #carbondioxide #localcontrol

A photo of a pipeline and a quote from Ed Fischbach: There is no option...The supreme court ruled on it seven months ago. Plus HB 1052. They have had over seven months to prepare for this. It basically ended their route because they can't use eminent domain.

The PUC's deadline for Summit Carbon Solutions to present an actual plan looms next week. The PUC denied giving them an open-ended process www.capjournal.com/news/puc-giv... #CO2 #carbonpipeline

The SD PUC refused to pause proceedings on a #carboncapture pipeline permit, instead directed Summit to present a plan at the next meeting showing how they can move forward, or not, under HB 1052.
The PUC voted 3-0 to deny Summit’s request to put its application on hold. #carbonpipeline #CO2

A pipeline company filed hundreds of lawsuits against landowners. Now its project is threatened The company behind a massive proposed carbon pipeline in the Midwestern U.S. filed hundreds of lawsuits against landowners in recent years.
