I've been diving deep into research related to a local campaign, as well as digging up far more potatoes than I thought would be produced by our dry summer--and so have not been able to keep up with developments in the ethanol carbon pipeline saga.
The first four paragraphs did jump out in Elise Sands' article in Tuesday's Aberdeen American News, Commission discusses concerns about CO2 pipeline:
After each of the four county commission candidates expressed opposition to the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline at the candidate forum on Sept. 28, one of Summit Carbon Solution's local representatives, David Meyer, sat down with commissioners to ask what information he could provide to ease concerns.
This discussion was the final topic on the Brown County Commission agenda Tuesday, where at least a half-dozen were in attendance.
The result was a host of comments and concerns from commissioners and people in the audience. This included Commissioner Dennis Feickert who said, "What part of no is it that Summit Carbon Solutions doesn't understand?"
Feickert said the commission has already taken the position that it is against the installation of the pipeline in the county. He later asked for a map that showed each proposed weld on the pipeline for Brown, Spink and McPherson counties. . . .
