Still in limbo, a bill sent to Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds that would restrict carbon pipeline development in the state.
Iowa ethanol advocates and farmers gathered at the capitol to urge her to veto the bill that farmers, ethanol operators and supporters called “extremely problematic to biofuels, farming, energy and Iowa economies.
The bill, House File 639, which passed the Iowa Senate May 12 and is awaiting a signature from Reynolds, would change definitions of a common carrier and increase insurance requirements for pipelines transporting liquid carbon dioxide reported the Iowa Capitol Dispatch.
A report this week by the Iowa Standard indicated the governor had yet to take action on the controversial bill.
