Senator Gene Yaw's bill, #SB831, would establish a form of subsurface eminent domain. If enough of your neighbors agree to have carbon stored in the pore space under their properties, you can't say no. 1/ 
One of the reasons for that is the unpredictable path the CO2 plume will take once injected. 2/
Stephen Rassenfoss wrote in the Journal of Petroleum Engineering that “Plume modeling is an emerging challenge for geoscientists and petroleum engineers,...and there is a limited amount of storage data to rely on. 3/
While a lot has been learned from [enhanced oil recovery], there may well be significant differences between cycling just enough gas through a reservoir to increase production & injecting as much gas as possible for permanent storage, often in unfamiliar sorts of formations.” 4/
Your state representatives could vote as early as Saturday on a bill that would open the state to carbon capture and storage. Tell them to vote NO to #SB831.
