Rep. Cindy Golding raised concerns that Summit Carbon's pipeline permit application was still active despite opposition, indicating ongoing commitment to the project.
The Iowa House passed a bill with bipartisan support to limit eminent domain for CO2 pipelines, heading to the Senate for further consideration.
