Dozens of farmers in South Dakota have had eminent domain lawsuits brought against them by a company seeking to build a carbon sequestration pipeline through their properties.
Speaking to LindellTV’s Brannon Howse, South Dakota farmer Jared Bossly who’s one of 80+ landowners in the state facing a lawsuit over the carbon capture pipeline said he’s reached out to the state’s Republican governor for help to no avail.
“Our governor ran on property rights. That was the number one bullet point on her campaign page,” Bossly said, adding, “She’s completely silent. She won’t say a word about it. She says it’s outta her hands. It’s in the PUC’s [Public Utilities Commission’s] hands.”
“And I said, ‘But you’re the elected gov of South Dakota. There has to be something you can do.’ And she just told me, ‘Am I supposed to fight all your battles?’”
Bossly also discussed his plight on Fox Business, admitting the property dispute is causing stress on his already stressful lifestyle and would upheave future plans for his family.
“My kids and I plant trees because that’s where the herd expansion comes in so we can have more cows. If they put this pipeline through here, they change the entire future of the ranch. You’re almost in disbelief this is happening in South Dakota.”
The lawsuits were filed by Summit Carbon Solutions, the company responsible for the carbon sequestration pipeline.
At least 80 landowners in 10 counties along the pipeline’s route are being targeted by Summit Carbon for failing to reach easement agreements. The company is now attempting to “exercise its right of eminent domain,” according to the lawsuit, to proceed with the project.
In an interview with the Mitchell Republic last month, farmer Mike Klipfel who’s been named in three separate eminent domain lawsuits questioned why the governor has been absent on the issue.
“Gov. Noem has said more than once that her dad told her not to sell the land because God is not making any more of it,” Klipfel said, referencing a refrain that Noem has laced into speeches as well as her memoir released last year. “Where is she now?”
With farmers sounding the alarm and making more aware of the situation, it remains to be seen whether Gov. Noem will stand up for the property rights of her constituents.
