It's a "documentary filmmaker" leading the hysteria on this one.

Anything to make America impoverished and energy-free.

Oh, and did I mention these people are nuts? Specifically, they're eremikophobes.

And the Red Star Tribune is only too willing to assist in creating some sort of hysteria. It really grinds against the leftists that the Dakotas are providing a nice stream of American oil, and there are very few wing nuts locally to provide roadblocks.

The title should be “Jim Tittle, a St. Paul activist and filmmaker complains about sand in rail cars.”

Considering the lengths the environuts are going to in their attempts to restrict carbon dioxide emissions, banning sand doesn’t seem far-fetched at all. They can talk each other into believing anything.

Read the comments under the article, they're crazier than the article, the first one even blames Bush and not in a sarcastic way.

WTH are they smoking up there?

"Second-hand sand exposure alert!"

I thought Charles Atlas found the cure for that decades ago!

She was young and beautiful, but met her end from a lethal dose of silica.

Massachusetts and Cali both have their varieties of nut, but there’s a peculiar strain of liberal lunacy native to the Upper Midwest that’s not quite like anywhere else’s. I think it has something to do with the large number of Scandinavians.

I couldn’t make it through more than a few of the comments before developing an urge to bang my head against a wall.

Doesn’t silica turn to glass when exposed to that much hotness?

(And thanks)

It has to be the lutefisk, what else would account for so many lye-ers?

Silicosis is no laughing matter. Sandblasters, miners and such can really suffer from it if they don’t diligently use a good respirator around airborne rock dust. Sand passing by in a rail car seems unlikely to offer the same risk but I would not dismiss it out of hand.
