It’s not what is in the pipeline but who is burying it.
There has been a lot of chatter about the proposed carbon pipeline and some of the extraordinary actions taken to get it in the ground.
Of course none of this is surprising considering some of the players in this and everything done so far has worked in their playbook.
I asked someone recently who has been around in politics since the late 60’s, “Do you think there is some kind of other agenda when it comes to this pipeline?”
Let’s be brutally honest, grain ethanol is NOT the solution to our energy problems. Green energy is. We should be using all the available farmland we have to grow crops that feed PEOPLE not create waste with an energy source that really isn’t that sustainable. Which brings us back to the ‘agenda’ question.
This person pointed out to me that once the easements are set and the pipeline is approved and buried in the ground the servicer of that line can transport any material thru the line like oil from North Dakota or Canada.
Is it much easier to sell a carbon pipeline that will somehow trickle down to benefit farmers or an oil pipeline?
We know the answer to that question.
The affected landowners need to start asking the carbon pipers what exactly will be in this pipeline because right now there is something flowing and it ain’t carbon.
