Opposition to carbon pipelines grows after monitoring well leaked in Illinois – Center Square

Jule Fosdick, a Central Illinois landowner and opponent of CO2 pipelines, said there are currently 22 injection well applications with the Environmental Protection Agency for sites in Illinois that are scheduled to have draft permits issued in the next six months. "So now both of their monitoring wells have failed, and that tells me that the technology is just not there to know how to engineer a monitoring well that’s going to last,” said Fosdick.
