The resolution expresses the South Dakota Legislature's strong opposition to the use of carbon dioxide pipelines, particularly the Summit Carbon Solutions project, and condemns the exercise of federal eminent domain powers to facilitate such projects. It highlights the state's preference for local governance free from federal intervention, citing the rejection of legislative attempts to expedite the pipeline's approval by voters. The resolution emphasizes the need for transparency, community involvement, and thorough environmental assessments in large-scale infrastructure projects, while also addressing concerns about the potential misuse of federal tax dollars in promoting carbon capture initiatives.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for an immediate halt to any eminent domain actions related to carbon capture and sequestration projects, urging governmental bodies to explore alternative solutions that respect property rights and involve affected communities. It also opposes the use of state funds to promote carbon capture benefits that contradict the interests of property owners and criticizes partnerships between government and private energy corporations under the guise of climate change initiatives. Lastly, the resolution urges President Trump to refrain from using federal eminent domain in states that have expressed opposition to such measures.
