Investments Revealed From Governor Noem Into Plant Associated With Carbon Pipeline Company

(Pierre, SD) — South Dakota Searchlight is revealing Governor Noem is an investor of a Minnesota-based ethanol plant partnered with Summit Carbon Solutions. Summit Carbon has been at the forefront of controversy surrounding the carbon pipeline that would go through South Dakota among other Midwestern states. The ethanol plant is Granite Falls Energy in Granite Falls, Minnesota, and Noem’s financial disclosures came from her former service in Congress and her current time as governor. Ed Fischbach, an Aberdeen-area farmer whose land is near the pipeline route, says the disclosures raise questions about Noem’s lack of support for anti-pipeline legislation.
