Protect The Harvest | CO2 Pipelines: Greenwashing Subsidized Danger

The American Midwest has become the epicenter in the battle against the green globalist crusade, with concerned residents fighting for their private property rights, health, and safety against three companies seeking to collectively build more than 3,600 miles of new pipeline to transport captured carbon dioxide (CO2).

Currently, approximately 5,000 miles of CO2 pipeline exists in the United States. Most of these pipelines are used for a process known as enhanced oil recovery, in which CO2 is injected into oil wells to increase pressure and extract more oil. The additional proposed CO2 pipelines would be used differently, moving CO2 created by various types of manufacturing facilities including ethanol and fertilizer plants. The CO2 would be transported to underground geologic formations that would serve as storage sites. Theoretically, this carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technique prevents the CO2 created by manufacturing from being emitted into the atmosphere. The intent is to help slow climate warming patterns attributed to greenhouse gas (GHG).

However, CO2 pipelines come with potential danger from breaks or leaks. Additionally, the alleged environmental benefits and efficacy of CO2 transport and storage are questionable at best. Regarding their opposition to the proposed pipelines, concerned citizens and anti-
