• As a husband and father, I think about North Dakota's future every day. My name is Chris Olson, and that's why I'm running for Public Service Commissioner.

• Summit Carbon Solutions wants to build a CO2 pipeline across North Dakota farmland and ranchland that's belonged to families for generations. If you won't sell? They threaten to take it through an abusive eminent domain. This isn't for public use—it's a private, for-profit corporation that would receive $85 per ton in federal tax credits for sequestered carbon. Landowners fought back. Counties set protections.

North Dakota's lignite coal provides reliable baseload power that keeps the grid stable and rates affordable.
