Senate Bill 2212

relating to carbon capture and eminent domain


What will this bill do?

  • Prohibit the use of eminent domain to construct carbon-capture pipelines in North Dakota.

    Read the bill.

Why is this bill needed?

  • Summit Carbon Solutions is pushing for carbon dioxide pipelines for capture operations in the upper Midwest and Dakotas.

  • Carbon capture in North Dakota is a top priority initiative for Governor Doug Burgum. His goal to be a carbon-neutral state by 2030 is based on the false premise of the climate change agenda.

  • State public service commissions or utilities boards will likely grant carbon capture companies eminent domain to confiscate land (with compensation) to construct their pipelines along proposed routes.

  • Protecting private property rights of landowners might be the only thing that can save North Dakota from the scam of carbon capture.
