There is a project being planned, and major push back against, an effort to get a liquid carbon dioxide pipeline put in, with lines running all across Iowa. It's supposed to transport carbon dioxide from producers (like ethanol plants) and transport it to some underground "storage" facility, in Illinois i think... What happens there, I have no idea. Seems like a stupid idea to me: collecting this stuff with no plan on what to do with it later (sounds much like nuclear fuel storage).
There is talk of using "eminent domain" to get it pushed through areas/farms that don't sign on to the program. There is a lot of push back about using eminent domain for this, since it would be a private venture, instead of public i.e.: interstate highway.
It wouldn't be REAL close to me, but I don't want it either...
Any thoughts?
