Bold today announced the release of a new documentary short that exposes the risks of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and the hazardous carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines associated with the technology, along with the eminent domain threats facing landowners and communities impacted by proposed projects across the country.
“UNDER PRESSURE: A Carbon Capture Land Grab Threatens Rural America” juxtaposes interviews with victims and first responders of a 2020 CO2 pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi, with interviews of Midwestern landowners, where a multi-billion dollar corporation is poised to seize farmland from hundreds of families via eminent domain for the world’s largest CO2 pipeline.
“Satartia should have been a wake-up call, but half a decade later, and we still don’t have meaningful federal safety protocols in place for CO2 pipelines. Our elected leaders need to put their constituents, not corporations, first and rein the carbon pipeline industry in before it’s too late,” said Dennis Valen, an Iowa landowner facing eminent domain takings for a CO2 pipeline who is featured in the film.
Viewers of the film are encouraged to take action by signing onto a Bold Alliance petition against the proposed federalization of permitting for carbon pipelines.
