North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley is exploring legal options against South Dakota's recent legislation banning eminent domain for carbon pipeline projects. This law poses challenges for Summit Carbon Solutions' multi-state pipeline network aimed at capturing carbon emissions from ethanol plants.

South Dakota officials, including House Speaker Jon Hansen, defend the law as a protection of property rights, while Wrigley argues it impedes interstate commerce. The dispute highlights contrasting approaches to property rights and economic development within the Republican-led states.
