SB627 removes the prohibition against leasing state-owned lands designated as state parks for underground carbon capture and sequestration.
The West Virginia House of Delegated passed SB627 on April 4, 2025, by a vote of 73 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the nays because carbon-capture programs intended to combat “climate change” align closely with the UN’s Agenda 2030, undermining national sovereignty and individual liberty. States should reject UN environmental agendas that erode U.S. sovereignty. Additionally, underground CO2 storage endangers the security of water resources and communities due to the long-term monitoring and storage requirements of carbon-sequestration storage sites.
