, Last week, over 60 farmers, landowners, and climate fighters came together in Des Moines to tell the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) we don't want false solutions to climate change or abuse eminent domain to line the pockets of people like Bruce Rastetter. Speakers gave powerful testimonies about protecting our land, water, and the lives of Iowans. Throughout the meeting, board members urged us to submit objections through the IUB's electronic filing system, saying they will read our comments and use them as evidence during all three CO2 pipelines' hearings. We need to show the IUB and pipeline companies that there is far more objection to these projects than support. Well over 500 objections have been submitted by impacted landowners, farmers, climate fighters, and impacted cities and counties, with more rolling in each day. Let's flood them with over 1,000 comments! Will you submit an objection letter today? Here's how you can make your voice heard: - Access the objection form here.
