A central Illinois lawmaker is not happy with Gov. JB Pritzker over action that he believes will impact the Mahomet Aquifer.
State Sen. Chapin Rose says the Governor's action to approve carbon sequestration under the Mahomet Aquifer completely contradicts his environmentally friendly stances.
The Mahomet Republican contends that most of Illinois' sub-terrain would be appropriate for carbon sequestration but does not believe storing carbon under the Mahomet Aquifer is appropriate.
Sen. Rose points to other issues as it relates to the imminent domain in the agreement. He calls it cleaning up someone else's mess and putting it in our backyard.
Sen. Rose believes there are plenty of places to do this in Illinois that aren't under the source of drinking water for a half-million Illinois residents.
