Summit's website shows no mention of this in either their Press Release or In The News links.. I can only imagine the vitriol and BP measurements at their board meeting!

According to a Fargo's newspaper article, North Dakota's PSC chair left the door open for SCS to 'come back with an appeal or reapply'.

The last sentence in the story noted that Summit would have to apply for a permi.....t FOR THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY!!!!

WHAT????? SCS's website states where this CO2 is going to be stored....BUT HAS NOT APPLIED FOR A PERMIT TO STORE IT???

With the pipeline now being stopped at the ND/SD stateline like the Great Chinese Wall, what is the NEED for a "Pipeline to Nowhere" to traverse through South Dakota?

This should make it really easy for South Dakota's PUC to reject SCS's permit.

It is significant that the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) said NO to Summit Carbon Solutions. A strong & positive result for Protecting Property Rights! The debate continues...more and more constituents and legislators support landowners!

Yahoo for North Dakota, a very wise move. Summit Carbon Solutions are bullying their way over private landowners believing the landowners would just lie down and allow them to run roughshod over them. I pray the South Dakota PUC will follow Suit and stop this company from getting access to private property.

"Didn’t consider alternative routes for some landowners," eh? Guess Summit shouldn't have tried that in a small town. 🤷‍♂️
