House Passes CO2 Eminent Domain Bill
KENTUCKY...
The House has approved legislation that would extend eminent domain rights to pipeline companies that would dispose of carbon dioxide, one of the chief byproducts of converting coal to cleaner burning fuels. The House voted 91-5 on Friday to approve legislation that would allow private companies to obtain easements across private property. The measure now goes to the Senate for consideration. Kentucky already allows the use of eminent domain for natural gas, oil and similar pipelines. The legislation is House Bill 213.
