I do not support or approve of eminent domain for any reason, however, once this land grab is done, wouldn't it be more logical and cheaper to simply cover the whole area with trees, irrigating them if necessary? Trees are natural carbon intakes, "breathing" it in and giving off oxygen. But then, there is no money to be made in planting trees.
"Seems to me", as the James Gang could have put it, "they don't want to talk about it."
This is another bubble-investment scheme, but I suspect they have some secondary or "alternate" purpose for a pipeline that they don't want to discuss. The initial bubble-investors are bound to take losses, but somebody, somewhere wants the pipeline for really cheap, for something inherently profitable.
Drag-Heels-Farmers! Wait this out. What they are offering sucks.
Maybe they just want your land, and the pipeline is a phantasm...
"Maybe they just want your land" is a given. :) I looked into carbon sequestration in detail about a year ago, and at least at the time, the "industry opinion" seemed to be that there was not much commercial use for the proceeds. Unless they want to sell it to plants.... :) Perhaps something has changed since. But in the world where there is no limit to what kind of lie is acceptable, they could make ANYTHING up and temporarily let it fly...
I feel a sense of urgency to love as I have never loved before... to love this life, this planet & every species that exists, including the wonderful, eclectic group called humanity - despite the obvious flaws and nefarious actions of the small handful of those who do not know what love is, and are demonstrating that in spades through actions like what is described here 🙄😑.
And that love requires boots on the ground push back from all of us, with every fibre of our being. Lordy, people need to wake up in a hurry! 🙏🏻
Glad you are reporting on Ice Age Farmer's reporting; he has been sounding the alarm bells for a while. He also provides info as to how the Grand Solar Minimum influences weather patterns. A lot of haters interpret this POV as "climate change denialism" but in reality, it is just an admission that there are ALSO space-weather and solar and planetary cycles that recur, and sure, we humans often abuse the environment, but a lot of the data, when you look closely, points to these cycles being responsible for the 'extreme weather' that we are currently blaming SOLELY on human activity. Check out Suspicious 0bservers channel on YT for a deeper look. Interestingly, this POV also explains some of the urgency behind many authoritarian moves that are being made, right now. Like, explains 'their' timelines.
What's particularly hilarious about the offer to the farmer is that the payment decreases over time....when in reality (and esp. the way things are going with fewer farms, more ag-intensive plant-based meat, inflation, etc.), the value of the crops would likely go UP, and so the payment to the farm should as well.
But I know--that makes just TOO DARN MUCH SENSE.
I hope the farmers can fight this. All the farmers I know work jobs besides on their farm, because the margins are just so thin.
And in the end they ultimately create a massive landfill of unrecyclable debris that they once created but now must construct new (soon to be) debris for their friends to squeeze money out of the middle class and the US Treasury. The solar craze is still in clean up mode.
I think solar panels use Teflon-line material. When it rains, some of it leeches into the ground, the ground water, and so on. All this sounds like rebranded poison. And yes, there is a need for different sources of energy but this is not it...
Here in Europe it is now all about the EU's 'Farm to Fork' initiative that will (supposedly) create green and sustainable agriculture while wreaking havoc.
I don't blame you! It is a bit... radical. At least it sure looks this way, and even as I was doing the research, I felt like, noooo, this cannot be true... but the press release is there, the companies' bragging is there, the bigger picture is something so many of us have been talking about for like ever.... they seem to be really trying this one! YIKES
I do understand that C02 levels are way up, that the consensus is that this is a monster of a problem, and also that I don't know at all enough about climate science to even have an opinion. But ripping up cornfields???
At first blush this looks like it might come from the same government that jabs children, even without parent approval, with an unknown serum with a horrific safety record, ostensibly to protect them from a disease that they are virtually invulnerable to
Yes, very deep, so they say. But, that is a lot of territory to collect from. I wonder if they had considered a collection spot within each state instead.
Even worse, it is entirely unknown what this kind of storage deep underground can do. This is uncharted territory, and the fact that they are doing it is so insane!!
Good Lord. Ever more bizarre and desperate $chemes to keep the dirty bulldozer/manifestation of our polluted minds chugging onward.
Not at all surprising though. Just like your everyday street addict will do absolutely anything, no matter how self-destructive or criminal to deny its' withering, decrepit state & stay high, we will proudly descend to heretofore unexplored depths of depravity in order to avoid looking into a mirror and find the actual source of our misery: Us.
Money and Power is Everything, you see. These are our drugs. We know nothing of simple joy and shared love. Our hearts are screaming voids of misery and pain. We are trapped inside our dark castle continually using stormy weather to jolt our Frankenstein monster into a staggering, stumbling, bumbling illusion of life so we can imagine ourselves as Gods.
As a kid I remember making a special effort to be able to sit through a horror film without covering my eyes. Without knowing why, I somehow knew it was important to not be afraid of frightening scenes.
Now I know why. The story of humanity is a horror film. The overriding theme is tragedy, willful ignorance, self abuse by war, murder, genocide, torture, child abuse etc. etc. It is a horrifying story of shining destinies thwarted, of diverted and distorted natural ascendant tendencies resulting in social devastation, self-imprisonment and loss, repeated over and over again.
To remain sane, to keep ones' heart intact in the face of all this requires a fearlessness that is at least equal in strength, or greater, to the level of abject horror that we serve up to ourselves on these ridiculous platters of gold.
As if these fancy platters mean that we are not, in fact, eating dogshit on a daily basis.

Well, it it were to save the planet, they wouldn't be grabbing this land in the first place...

Thank you for putting it so beautifully!!
My cows don't even wear tags. They sure as shit aren't going to wear those.
Fearless love, huh? I hope it stops a bullet.

Reaching "across the fence" to a new 2A ally... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwBFkT_KZr8
Guess that explains why Bill Gates has bought up so much farmland.
Yep...
Excellent work (once again).
Farmers are under attack all around the globe.

We're in a movie where everyone speaks NewGibberish and sensibility is lost.
From their website: “the carbon footprint of the Des Moines metro area.” Ummm not going to save us. Pathetic greenwashing.
Pathetic greenwashing on steroids. And lot of linguistic juggling!!
For sure. But the problem we all face is real. https://climateandeconomy.com/2021/11/16/16th-november-2021-todays-round-up-of-climate-news/
By looking at their route map, it looks like Illinois is the final CO2 dumping ground. I wonder how thy feel about that (the residents, I mean)?
It's (allegedly) a deep-deep underground storage. It won't directly interact with where anyone's living.
Yes, very deep, so they say. But, that is a lot of territory to collect from. I wonder if they had considered a collection spot within each state instead.

I agree. Just more cruelty toward cows, like they are not even alive.
