New Trump Rule Could Create ‘Bomb Trains,’ Environmentalists Say
- Havoc 6y agoIf only we had a recent practical demonstration of what too much explosive stuff in one place can do...
- scohesc 6y agoI'd be okay with the order if the trains were specifically routed away from densely populated areas - similar to how nuclear waste products are transported AFAIK.
- weare138 6y ago>Under the new rule, trains would be allowed to transport up to 30,000 gallons of liquified natural gas (LNG) per tank, significantly more than has ever been allowed in the U.S., and there will be no restrictions on the number of LNG tanker cars in a particular train, nor on the routes these trains may travel, so they will be free to pass through dense population centers. Well that's good to know.

- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoYou can tell the media is desperate for anti-Trump material. "Orange man bad; wants bomb trains."
