South Dakota voters will have a significant decision to make on November 5. They will be able to reject a controversial law that supports a proposed $8.9 billion carbon-capture pipeline.
Opponents argue that the law prioritizes pipeline development over local concerns. The outcome of this vote could have far-reaching implications for the project, which has faced several setbacks. Critics hope that overturning the law could effectively stop the pipeline's progress, which would be a crucial moment in the ongoing struggle over carbon capture initiatives in the region.
As Election Day approaches, both supporters and opponents of the pipeline have a lot at stake.
