Palizzi Farm lost a big battle at the beginning of the summer when a judge ruled a metropolitan district could run a stormwater pipe across the 95-year-old Brighton farm to support a planned housing development nearby. But tucked into the final page of Adams County District Judge Sarah Stout’s 41-page eminent domain ruling was an “expectation” from the court “that the Palizzis will be able to continue to farm on the land at the conclusion of the Project.” It’s that directive that Debora Palizzi, whose great-grandfather Antonio started the farm on East Bromley Lane in 1929, is counting on to keep the 57-acre operation running past this year.

A presidential candidate, two congressional candidates and several dozen disparate-but-like-minded advocates gathered in a suburban Denver Marriott on Thursday morning to discuss a political movement that they believe is having its moment. At least, that’s how attendees at the 2024 Independent National Convention felt. Bolstered by Robert F.

Maria Fernandez stood at the front of the room in the Sun Valley People Center, ready to make the case for a project.

Over the past few years, the United States has become the go-to location for companies seeking to suck carbon dioxide out of the sky. There are a handful of demonstration-scale direct air capture (DAC) plants dotted across the globe, but the facilities planned in Louisiana and Texas are of a different scale: They aim to capture millions of tons of carbon dioxide each year, rather than the dozens of tons or less captured by existing systems. The US has a few things going for it when it comes to DAC: It has the right kind of geological formations that can store carbon dioxide pumped underground, it has an oil and gas industry that knows a lot about drilling into that ground, and it has federal grants and subsidies for the carbon capture industry.
