Tell IUB No To Summit

Posted on September 6, 2023 by Trish Nelson


Action alert from Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement – CCI:

Today – call-in day to tell the Iowa Utilities Board ‘No to Summit!’ 
We’re now into the third week of the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) evidentiary hearings for Summit’s pipeline permits. Whereas it seems they’ve been doing everything possible to shut everyday Iowans out of this process, Gov. Reynolds continues to deny she’s influenced the process in anyway.

The IUB’s mission statement is to “regulate utilities to ensure that reasonably priced, reliable, environmentally responsible, and safe utility services are available to all Iowans.” It’s not their job to shut everyday Iowans out and fast track Bruce Rastetter’s latest money-making scheme.

The IUB has the power to deny permits for the proposed Summit, Navigator and Wolf carbon pipelines.

We’ve called and left messages for commissioners Joshua Byrnes and Erik Helland, now it’s time for Reynolds’ appointed commissioner Sarah Martz to hear from you!

Call IUB Commissioner, Sarah Martz, today (Wednesday) and tell her to deny Summit’s pipeline permit. 515-725-7888 is the publicly listed office number for the IUB.

  • Share your story! Tell her why you care about stopping CO2 pipelines
  • Tell her pipelines are dangerous and potentially deadly, putting the people and places we love at risk.
  • Urge her to deny Summit’s permit application and not let Bruce Rastetter abuse eminent domain for private gain!
