Admittedly my partner has been following this closer than myself but I was curious what peoples’ thoughts are regarding the planned co2 pipeline that would run through Sangamon (and other neighboring counties).

For those not in the know:

It’s worth mentioning that co2 distribution is dangerous and probably shouldn’t be buried under peoples’ private property, just my $.02.

Edit: rephrased

    But if there’s a break in the pipe it’ll silently flow downhill, filling low lying areas, possibly killing many people without any immediately obvious indication of what’s causing people to gasp and fall dead.

      I’m not in Illinois so I don’t have a stake in it, but if that is the primary concern besides side effects of actual construction, maybe having the company install CO2 concentration detectors and alarms? Seems pretty dumb if they aren’t already, they aren’t that expensive.
