One of the organizers is Joyce Harant from Peoria, president of Citizens Against Predatory Pipelines. She's concerned about safety because CO2 is very dangerous.
"Even though we breathe it in, but when it's in too high of a concentration it is deadly or it can cause dis-orientation, your cars will stop, et cetera."
The pipeline proposed by Wolf Carbon Solutions would cross the Mississippi River just north of Port Byron, then head southeast through Rock Island and Henry counties, and end near Decatur.
She also worries that many landowners could be forced to allow the pipeline to cross their properties.
"And right now the Navigator Pipeline, as of at least a month ago, only had 15 per cent of the landowners who had agreed to easements. And if they get a permit, they will be able to seek eminent domain for 85 per cent of the properties."
Possible approval by Illinois could come sometime next year.
Monday night's meeting will be held at the River Valley Library in Port Byron, beginning at 6 pm.
