 Toxic spill in Ohio is not unexpected if you know what's been happening behind the scenes. Public safety experts have been calling out railroad companies for years for drastically cutting their workforces, ignoring safety best practices, and successfully lobbying for decreased regulations, all while making record profits. And they're worried the problem is only getting worse. In 2020, the DOT approved liquefied natural gas to be carried by train with no additional regulations. Just 22 cars of that hold as much energy as an atomic bomb. And freight trains run through places where a lot of people live. Ideally, the railroad industry would take the Ohio spill as a red flag and course correct, but we'll see what happens.
