An Iowa bill that would have limited when eminent domain can be used for carbon pipelines stalled, but landowners opposed to the project cutting through their properties are undeterred. The bill would have restricted the forced sale of land unless 90% of the proposed project route was obtained through voluntary sales. Martin Maher said his family has had the farmland near Imogene, Iowa, for more than a hundred years. He's concerned about what the project would do to his land, especially the terraces.
