Louisiana Public Broadcasting is airing a new documentary, 'Going Underground: Carbon Capture in Louisiana,' on Oct. 5. It looks at the state's push to capture CO2 from industrial facilities and store it underground, and the disputes forming around safety, property rights, and federal incentives. The documentary covers proposed sequestration wells in Vernon Parish and the aftermath of a CO2 pipeline rupture in Satartia, Mississippi. That event has become a reference point for landowners and local officials who worry about what happens when a project fails. For anyone following carbon capture policy in the Gulf South, this is a useful look at how the debate is playing out at the local level. It airs at 8 p.m. Monday on LPB.
