But no, those "derailments" were totally just "accidents", along with all the other crap set up by this a-hole...

It would be interesting to know what percentage of derailments happen in the switchyard vs the number during transport to destination.

Blaming modern Western society and the younger generation of today for the polluting sins of the Boomers as to take what wealth is left is a damn shame.

Biden and Gore needs to pay for their sins, not us. We have cleaned up after the poop and are leaving everything cleaner and more sustainable. No thanks to boomers or the leftist.

Boomers, Leftists, Joe Biden, Al Gore... the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse... the boogeymen of feverish nightmares. That's an especially bizarre utterance that comes from the same dysfunctional place as this Malfunctioning Meme:



What's wrong with this meme or cartoon?

Washington state last month [January] launched its complex carbon-pricing scheme, in which most of the state’s biggest emitters of climate-warming greenhouse gases can buy and sell carbon allowances—permits to pollute. On Tuesday, the allowances for the first time will go up for sale in an online auction.

This new market is only the second of its kind in the United States and is a major test of state lawmakers’ grand ambitions to rein in climate pollution. Even before the first bids have been placed, it has unleashed a political tug of war over potential impacts for consumers.

If everything goes as planned, the state will be mostly carbon-free by 2050. That’s a more accelerated timeline than in California, where emissions reduction targets remain somewhat elusive a decade after its carbon-pricing program began.


This is a comprehensive report on Washington state's recently enacted carbon-pricing... comprehensive and magazine-length, as is needed to go into this kind of in-depth coverage of the topic.

Make sense, ? Why do idiots block roads and freeways in protest during rush hour traffic make sense.

Which is most likely a maintenance failure.

Electronically Controlled Pneumatic braking. Rescinded ? Why ?

Have you even researched the subject ? Do you even know why it was first mandated ? Do you even know why it was rescinded ? I thought not ! It is evident. Of course, you rely on the Democrat's media arm to educate you. Which means, you are not educated. Or, half educated.
