A monstrously huge, 1,200-mile pipeline has been announced by a joint venture between Valero, BlackRock, and Navigator Energy Services. The new greenfield pipeline is planned for the Midwest, spanning five states, and will flow carbon dioxide (CO2), storing it at a site in Illinois. Will anti-fossil fuel freaks object, claiming the CO2 will leak from every valve and welded seam in the pipeline? Will antis claim the CO2 is migrating underground at the storage site "polluting" groundwater supplies? Will landowners fight this pipeline and share sob stories of being abused by the builders? Will FERC, under Chairman Dick Glick, delay and oppose and refuse to certify the project? No to all of the questions above.
