June 27, 2023

WATERTOWN, S.D.–Governor Kristi Noem has been largely quiet on the issue of carbon capture pipelines potentially being built across South Dakota, but that all changed during an exclusive interview with KWAT Radio News on Monday.

The governor was asked about her position on the pipelines, which have drawn strong opposition from some landowners over questions about private property rights, and the prospect of eminent domain being used to force construction onto their property.

Here’s the exchange between KWAT News Director Mike Tanner and Governor Noem…..

The three-member South Dakota Public Utilities Commission will hold hearings on permits for the Navigator and Summit Carbon Solutions pipelines later this summer and fall.
