Liz May on the "Big Beautiful Bill"

Koch Industries' relationship with the late Republican Kansas Senator Bob Dole not only helped to delegitimize the issue of oil theft it allowed the company to build an ecoterrorism empire. Charles Koch was a member of the John Birch Society and Koch Industries has given loads of cash to Mike Rounds, Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson and John Thune. And, as the South Dakota Republican Party is flying apart Shad Olson is dissing the Koch's Americans for Prosperity for endorsing RINO Dusty for governor. 

Now Trump is in trouble with his base since it looks like Republican Liz May believes ethanol is ecocide, too.
If Ethanol Can’t Stand on Its Own, It Shouldn’t Stand at All
Summit Carbon and Big Ethanol couldn’t buy enough politicians in South Dakota—so now they’ve packed up their lobbyists and checkbooks and headed to Washington, D.C.
Buried in the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a federal land grab:
🔴 Grants eminent domain for carbon pipelines
🔴 Overrides South Dakota law and strips local control
🔴 Backs it with the 45Q tax credit—a taxpayer-funded bailout that's already drained us for BILLIONS
💰 $85–$180 per ton of carbon captured
💰 $30+ billion projected cost to taxpayers
💰 $900 million claimed without proof of permanent storage
This isn’t about climate—it’s about corporate control.
This isn’t about clean energy—it’s about stealing land and lining pockets.
If you can’t own property, you ARE property.
No more ethanol bailouts.
No more carbon boondoggles.
No more federal overreach in South Dakota.
