BEK TV Produces Series of Reports Regarding CO2 Pipeline Weighs in on Concerns and Benefits
BEK TV, a North Dakota-based broadcasting company, has launched a new series titled "Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline." The series will examine the implications of a proposed high-pressure carbon dioxide pipeline, which has stirred controversy among residents and landowners across the Midwest. The pipeline is intended to transport CO2 from ethanol plants in five Midwest states to a location north and west of the Bismarck-Mandan area, in Oliver and Mercer counties.
Bismarck, ND, July 18, 2023 --(PR.com)-- BEK TV has begun broadcasting a new series called Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline. The reports explore the concerns and benefits of a proposed high-pressure carbon dioxide pipeline that would be built in close proximity to residential North Dakota.
New reports will be released every Wednesday and Friday and will re-run at
various times throughout the week. All episodes can be viewed live online at
bek.news/capturingamericasheartland, or in the archives.
The CO2 pipeline has been the topic of controversy among residents and rural landowners across the midwest, and particularly in North Dakota. It would transport carbon dioxide captured from ethanol plants in five Midwest states to an endpoint north and west of theBismarck-Mandan area, in Oliver and Mercer counties.
“Earlier this year, I attended a meeting where legislators were present, and a young woman boldly walked up to the microphone and started asking questions about the CO2 pipeline,” says Lori Hinz, BEK TV Host of Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline and No Apologies. “That moment sparked something in me. This is an issue with a lot of questions surrounding it, and I felt incredibly compelled to learn more about it and share what I learned.”
Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline invites experts on all sides of the
issue to weigh in on a variety of concerns and benefits regarding building an
unusually large pipeline so close to residents and property owners. From
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing technical, regulatory, and
health and safety challenges, the series explores how the proposed route could affect the Heartland of America.“My family and I live just miles away from the proposed pipeline route,” says Hinz. “This issue hits close to home for me.”
