Senator John Kennedy is raising concerns over the use of eminent domain for carbon capture and storage projects in Louisiana. He argues that companies receiving 45Q tax credits should not be able to force the installation of CO2 injection wells on private land without owner consent. This debate highlights a growing conflict between federal climate incentives and state property rights. Kennedy suggests that the 45Q tax credit could be modified if companies continue to use state powers to bypass landowner permission for carbon sequestration infrastructure.
