Mercer County Commission's Stalemate on CO2 Pipeline Proposals Leaves Residents in Anticipation
On the agenda was the key item “SCS Carbon Transport LLC; Five – CO2 Pipeline Crossings.” While one commissioner was absent, the four present commissioners were tasked with hearing from the highway department representatives regarding the pipeline routes destined to pass underneath five key Mercer County roads. Particularly noteworthy was the proposed utility permit #1753 meant to run from Oliver County into Mercer County.
In a surprising turn of events, despite multiple motions made by Chairman Travis Frey to approve the pipeline permits, the absence of any seconds meant that all motions failed. Notably, Summit Carbon Solutions' permits #1753, #1754, #1755, #1756, and #1757 all faced unanimous inaction. The episode leaves viewers questioning the future direction of the CO2 pipeline through Mercer County and awaiting further comments from Summit Carbon Solutions. A request from BEK TV to Summit Carbon Solutions for a comment was not made by time of broadcast.
Join us as we further investigate the potential repercussions of this pivotal meeting and what it means for the future of America's CO2 pipeline project.
