SB457 establishes certain guidelines for companies to receive a carbon sequestration project permit or a carbon dioxide transmission pipeline certificate of authority from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The House passed SB457 on March 20, 2025, by a vote of 56 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the recent growth of carbon-capture storage systems in the United States is closely connected to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for “sustainable development,” which seeks to codify extreme “environmental justice” measures into state law. Its push for a “green” or “decarbonized” economy on behalf of “vulnerable populations” is nothing other than a fanatical attempt by globalist elites to increase their taxing power and authority. The abuse of eminent domain for these carbon-capture pipelines encroaches upon constitutionally protected property rights. If America is to truly remain the “land of the free,” then the States and the people must reject the hoax of “climate change” and put an end to the global war on farmers.
