    ...the epa never said the water in Ohio was safe.



    There's a huge difference between the two and it's sad people use disinformation for engagement.

    well then u should tell that to the Governor of Ohio…

    New water testing results have been returned to the Ohio EPA. These results show no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system.

    Test results from the combined, treated water from all five wells also showed no detection of contaminants associated with the derailment.

    With these tests results, Ohio EPA is confident that the municipal water is safe to drink.


    there is no disinformation here…that’s literally what he wrote in a press release 5 days ago

    hey Reeko, you probably don’t want to rely on anything from Donziger. The guy is a massive fraud. Fabricated the entire Ecuador lawsuit against Chevron and was stupid enough to admit to it in outtakes in video, and has been completely crushed at the courthouse.

    thanks for telling me about him because Idk anything about the guy

    in this case tho, the info is coming from the Huffington Post article which he is not the author of and is providing context to how the Ohio Governor came to the conclusion that the water is safe as he stated in this clip

    Looks like EPA is stepping in now and really taking over from the state. You can't trust corrupt republican governors

    Thanks for the kind words! How many train derailments are there a year compared to a pipeline explosion?

    A pipeline construction plan that plans to move product years from now isn't increasing the amount of trucks with oil tanks driving the road. The plan is by the time that hypothetical pipeline would be ready, demand of oil and gas will sufficiently drop where that pipeline will not be needed.

    So you are saying in the 5 years it would take to build a hypothetical pipeline, we won't need oil and gas anymore? Do you know what plastic is a byproduct of?

    Any more? Would that hypothetical pipeline be the only pipeline in existence? Do you understand what "decrease in demand" means?

    So you see why I call you an idiot?

    Man you are one delusional dumbass if you think the decrease in demand of plastics, diapers, cars, furniture, keyboards, computers, TVs, cell phones, make up, and the list goes on, is ever going to happen in our society. But whatever makes you sleep at night. You should probably take a long look in the mirror and get educated on where the products, you are using to type on the forum, come from. Idiot.

    One of the largest industries that contribute to emissions transitioning from gas to electric will definitely alter demand.

    And before you jump on me and think you have a gotcha with "but electric vehicles use carbon emitting power plants to charge their batteries! Ahah! Gotcha dumbass!".

    1. Learn some basics about thermal efficiency differences between the Otto/Diesel cycle vs Brayton/Rankine cycles used in power plants.

    2. Most powerplants in the US and most NEW powerplants worldwide use combine cycle gas turbine systems that use both Brayton and Rankine cycles where their heating element is fueled by natural gas. The Keystone Pipeline has nothing to do with natural gas. The pipelines was proposed to move tar sand oil.

    The current Administration hasn't done a good job on this disaster. Part of the reason why is that they didn't repeal that policies of the last Adminstration that reduced train safety.

    the administration called the governor the day of the explosion and the governor has refused help....the governor blew up the train then refused help and refused to declare a disaster.



    The government can't step in until the state declares an emergency
