The East Palestine train derailment and Arizona highway nitric acid spill prove again that there is no risk-proof way to move hazardous material. Pipelines, however, have half the incidents of rail and far lower carbon footprint. So why is the green movement opposed? - - - - - Jacki reads an excerpt from Don DeLillo’s book White Noise (later turned into a movie filmed in East Palestine just months before the 2023 incident) about a train derailment in eastern Ohio that devastates the region with toxic chemicals and ends in increased government crackdown. Given the striking similarities, the timing of the film, and the strategic location of the accident such that it pollutes the main freshwater artery of the U.S. (the head of the Ohio River, which feeds into the Mississippi) Jacki asks whether the government has ruled out ecoterrorism or sabotage by a foreign government. Liability falls first to the owner of the faulty rail car, then possibly the railroad; Why have we not been told who owns the rail car?? - - - - - Tarren Bragdon, President and CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability joins Jacki to examine the government’s role in creating the current raging inflation: expanding Medicaid to 30% of the U.S. population, printing money and food stamps, declaring war on (raising the price of) fossil fuels – the foundational input into all other businesses. Congress has moved to reverse these trends and bring relief. - - - - - Canada considers implementing WEF recommended “15 Minute Cities” in which citizens would only be permitted to travel within 15 minutes of their home for reasons of limiting climate change, and could only travel further with permission, facing financial penalties for disobedience. Freedom is on the chopping block.
