Who are the real adversaries in pipeline fight?

Questions to ponder regarding the deadly CO2 pipeline networks they want to install throughout Iowa:
Why won’t the Linn County Board of Supervisors pass an effective ordinance to protect us? Why don’t Gov. Kim Reynolds and Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver oppose these dangerous pipelines? Why do so few of Iowa’s Democrat leaders oppose them?
Why is the Inflation Reduction Act forcing us to spend tax dollars to install toxic pipelines in Iowa? Where are all of our tax dollars going? Does any of it go to countries who hate us?
Why won't the pipeline companies answer our safety questions? Does either political party really care about the health and safety of Iowans?
Do you ever get the feeling it’s really not Republicans against Democrats, like they want us to believe, but actually “us” against “them?”
