To The REVIEW:
Iowans throughout the state are at the moment preventing to maintain carbon-capture storage pipelines out of Iowa.
First, let’s discover the large lie: We’ve been instructed that CO2 should be captured to assist save the surroundings and meet the carbon footprint requirements set by world organizations. It wasn’t till 2009 when then-President Barack Obama declared CO2 and different greenhouse gases a harmful risk to American life. Did CO2 simply abruptly develop into harmful?
The reality: So, what precisely is CO2? Carbon and oxygen. Each mandatory for all times itself. Collectively they pose no hazard to the surroundings, fairly the alternative. All life on Earth, people, animals, fish, bugs and vegetation all want carbon and oxygen to reside. As youngsters, we have been all taught that to ensure that photosynthesis to occur, vegetation want carbon, oxygen, water and daylight. Vegetation in flip produce oxygen. There isn’t a scientist on the market that may truthfully deny this truth. Carbon is life.
Carbon when captured, concentrated and pumped by way of pipes is the exact opposite of life. It’s dying. CO2 is used to euthanize lab rodents. Ask the individuals of Satartia, MS, who skilled a ruptured pipeline in 2021 what occurred when people and animals have been uncovered to the leaking fuel.
Who’s benefiting from the carbon-capture pipelines? Because the age-old story goes, observe the cash. Thousands and thousands of {dollars} in tax credit are being awarded to ethanol vegetation for his or her cooperation. Subsequent is the pipeline corporations. They are going to be paid tens of millions of {dollars} of taxpayers’ cash every year for the storage and sale of CO2 for enhanced oil restoration operations. (Suppose fracking). Our elected officers are being rewarded by way of election and marketing campaign donations. Each events are responsible of getting their arms within the cash pot. Navigator CO2 Ventures, the corporate proposing the Heartland Greenway venture is backed by Blackrock. Blackrock is the single-largest asset administration firm on this planet. Cash lining the pockets of all concerned whereas Iowans are footing the invoice.
If the pipelines undergo, Iowa loses. We are going to all be paying into the system that’s entrapping us with an increasing number of authorities management over our lives and better taxes. With decreased availability of CO2 within the air, crop manufacturing as we at the moment know it can lower. Our capacity to boost livestock may also be negatively affected. We are going to not have the flexibility to feed the world. A number of the greatest farmland within the nation could have been stolen from the farmers by way of eminent area. Within the massive image, this struggle is just the start of getting our God-given freedoms stripped from us in preparation for the one world order. Whereas we have now been having fun with our every day lives, blindly being led by those that don’t love our nation, the USA of America is being stolen proper out from beneath us. Our very existence is being threatened. Educate your self on Agenda 21/2030. That’s one other story in itself.
For right now, I ask you to hunt the reality. Carbon is life. Don’t imagine the lies the world is telling you. Stand collectively together with your neighbors for what is true and simply. Let our elected representatives know that they’re working for us, we the individuals. Collectively we’re “One nation beneath God, indivisible.” Say “No” to carbon-capture pipelines.
