Carbon Pipeline?

Who'd notice?

Well, exactly!

I think that folks tend to forget how natural gas, diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline get to their neighborhoods. It isn't by tankers, except for last mile trucking. Growing up the city still had the remains of the gas works by the edge of downtown where they used to burn coal (also by pipeline sometimes as a slurry) to make gas for the city for lighting. (That was "producer" gas, a mix of carbon monoxide and methane, fairly deadly in the grand scheme of things.)

All the best,

Peter

People seem to be automatically against anything that they don't understand. I guess that is human nature.

Especially if they're of a certain environmental religion and you mention Co2.
Don't trees and other growing things sequester Co2 from the air and put it in the soil?
I don't like the taking of property by anyone but especially a private enterprise. It would seem to benefit the corn growers in Iowa.
Then someone mentioned possible benefits (govt?) for the sequestering Co2 for the (pipeline-ethanol?) company. I'd imagine that they'd be in the form of tax credits, sounds something like the wind and solar companies eh?

Some concerns are
soil disruption & compaction lowering yields
field tile damage that could be problematic for years because of ground settling

and a private company using eminent domain for private profit with no benefit to the state.

"Somebody" must have a plan that they think will make money. That will be a whole lot of $$$$ even if it has government subsidy.

I don't agree with imminent domain and I dislike ethanol. How much longer will it be before ALL government actions are under the table.

At least when this one leaks there won't be a hazardous waste area like there would be from an oil pipeline or an explosion from a gas pipeline.

Thankfully all the dead bodies aren't considered hazardous waste, just fresh Soylent Green.
