BISMARCK — Karl Rakow lives in a low area east of Bismarck, with a house near the route of a planned carbon capture pipeline. He said he talked with his wife about having to get scuba gear in case of a rupture, because carbon dioxide finds low areas, potentially robbing the air of breathable oxygen. Rakow was among the Bismarck area residents WHO waited all day Tuesday, March 14, to testify at the first North Dakota Public Service Commission meeting on the proposed Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline that would run east and north of Bismarck, where new housing developments are popping up.
