Senators Thune(R) & Rounds(R) and Congress critter “Dusty” Johnson(R) are NOT about making South Dakota great, much less better.
Everyone must boycott and defund the GOP.
They are evil, against real Americans and
destroy every business they can.
NO MORE GOP. EVER.
Sounds like a good way to get shot to me.
My parent’s property was taken for a train project that failed dismally. They received a fraction of what the actual value of that property was. Through legal maneuvering the transit authority avoided paying my parents legal expenses which were more than what they received for the property.
The case was so outrageous that the legislature enacted a new law which was signed by the governor so that “it would never happen to anyone else”, but no funds were ever used to reimburse my parents. And the law was just meaningless fluff.
The “green energy” mentioned in the title of the article is corn ethanol which President Trump is current promoting in Iowa. Get rid of “food as fuel” and problem solved, no CO2 pipeline needed.
Also, why isn’t the pipeline agreement an “easement”/right-of-way issue and not an eminent domain issue? Most pipelines are operated with landowners farming right over the top....the pipeline company has an easement for inspections/repairs.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s Twitter feed had several posts about this. To quote,

“Huge eminent domain land seizures in ND to build a carbon capture pipeline. Whether it is oil pipelines through tribal sacred lands, or supposedly “green” pipelines through farms, it’s often the little guy who gets screwed by national energy policy.”

“This kind of “solution” to climate change is another high-tech mirage that sacrifices landscapes, ecosystems, and people for a theoretically better future. It’s an outrageous boondoggle that will turn Americans against clean energy.”
I don’t agree with RFK jr in every issue but I agree with his take on this. I also wonder if I missed if the rest who threw their hat in the ring have commented on this land grab.
I believe the Kelo project was abandoned. Too bad for the homeowner.
Ethanol industry using eminent domain to destroy family farms is disgusting.
I despise Rinos even more than Rats. Bottom dregs of humanity on both counts.
I don’t know if the farmer actually threatened to shoot the surveyors or not, but if he did, he violated Tuco’s first law. “ If your going to shoot, shoot, don’t talk”.
It’s a blog...
Why not post the whole thing right here?
