New South Dakota law threatens massive carbon dioxide pipeline proposed for Midwest

South Dakota's governor signed a bill that bans taking private property for carbon dioxide pipelines, impacting Summit Carbon Solutions' planned $8.9 billion project.
The new law prohibits exercising eminent domain for pipelines aimed at transporting carbon dioxide.
Governor Larry Rhoden stated that the law does not kill Summit's project but offers an opportunity to reset, while the company reported regulatory uncertainty as a significant challenge.
Opponents of the law argue it creates unnecessary obstacles for the ethanol industry that seeks to reduce carbon footprints.
