SB2322 would have revoked the common-carrier status of, and ended the use of eminent domain for, carbon dioxide pipelines.
The Senate failed to pass SB2322 on February 10, 2025, by a vote of 21 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the recent and dangerous expansion 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 “decarbonized” economy on behalf of “vulnerable populations” is nothing other than a fanatical attempt by globalist elites to expand their taxing power and authority. The abuse of eminent domain for these carbon-capture pipelines encroaches upon the constitutionally protected property rights of North Dakotans. 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 and ranchers.
