Greater use of freight rail offers a simple, inexpensive, and immediate way to meaningfully
reduce greenhouse gas emissions without harming the economy. Railroads are, on average,
nearly four times more fuel efficient than trucks. That means that moving freight by rail
instead of truck reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent, on average. According
to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data, freight railroads account for just 0.7 percent
of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from all sources and just 2.6 percent of emissions from
transportation-related sources.

Haha, Jeff. Always so modest.
