North Dakota attorney general says legal action against South Dakota pipeline law not an option
North Dakota’s attorney general has decided not to pursue a lawsuit against South Dakota over its new limits on carbon pipeline projects. Drew Wrigley said Monday his office found no legal pathway to challenge South Dakota’s ban on using eminent domain for CO2 pipelines, though he called the law “a hostile act” against North Dakota. The decision underscores the deep tension between states, landowners, and pipeline developers like Summit Carbon Solutions — where questions of energy, commerce, and property rights continue to collide.
