Steve King, the former congressman known for die-hard conservative views, and a staff member for the left-leaning environmental group, Sierra Club, are among the Iowans who received cease and desist letters from Summit Carbon Solutions.
- The carbon capture pipeline company accused King of making false and defamatory statements.
