I still religiously buy ethanol-free gas for small engines (i.e. mower, tiller). To be honest, I now have more battery powered outdoor tools like blower and weed trimmer.

Simple solution; slow down the trains. These trains of 120 or more cars are running at 70 miles per hour and the bearings and axle assemblies were never designed for that speed and consequently the bearings are failing. How dumb are these train masters?

I suspect the country of origin of those bearings.

In a sane world, the FIB would be all over these train derailments and food plant “accidents”.
I agree with you but damn all these derailments and all of these shooting at Electrical substations.
We do live in very interesting times.

I JUST had a conversation about this with my mechanic.
My 2005 Honda Pilot has started a dry bearing type of noise and I asked if there were any grease fittings . . . nope.
THAT led to my question if the auto part industry has been overtaken by China and he said, "Pretty much".
I remember learning a couple of years ago where our drugs came from and was shocked to learn MUCH comes from China.
No WONDER That commie bastard always has a smirk on his face.

Re: 21 - These mean NOTHING without a comparative analysis of historical derailments, faulty issues, accidents and forest fires.
Good grief.

God knows it just wouldn’t be right to try to save some of it.

It’s probably industrial ethanol ... would taste like really bad vodka. By law the producers have to denature it at the point of production so that it can’t be consumed.

How about spending some of those trillions for infrastructure on the railroads? Or are they only for windmills and solar panels?
