FILE - Republican North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum listens as former President Donald Trump , in foreground, talks to reporters at Manhattan criminal court, May 14, 2024, in New York. Burgum is one of Trump’s most visible and vocal backers, sprinting around the country to drum up support while auditioning to be his running mate. Meanwhile, Burgum is wrestling with a $5.5 billion carbon dioxide pipeline project in his home state.
“This has nothing to do with climate change,” Burgum said in early March on a North Dakota radio program. “This has to do with markets.”The blowback in North Dakota to the Summit project has been intense with Burgum caught in the crossfire. There are fears a pipeline rupture would unleash a lethal cloud of CO2. Landowners worry their property values will plummet if the pipeline passes under their land.
“It seems like everybody wants what isn’t theirs,” Swenson said. “You’re going to end up taking it from my cold, dead hands. And you’re going to see how that works out for you.”
