I agree with Roscoe Bartlett on something
The unbelievable has happened - I have found something that I agree with congressmen Roscoe Bartlett. I guess it was only a matter of time until the stars aligned and he said something that made sense to me. Not that I ever thought it would happen.
From Hagerstown’s award winning newspaper of record, the Herald-Mail:
As far as energy concerns, the country needs to find a “clearly sustainable” form of energy, he said.Until then, Bartlett said, he foresees a shift from trucks to trains as a way to move freight, driven by the high price of oil. Trains are five to six times more energy-efficient, he said.
Trains are the way to go to move stuff. It’s a shame that we don’t use the rails to move stuff from one place to another. It’s far more efficient then moving stuff with trucks.
I wouldn’t even have known about this if it wasn’t for Steve Shives of Steve Likes to Curse. I was reading the newspaper’s website about his mother and the pet rabbit that Steve saved from a friend’s landlord. Steve’s mom trained the rabbit to use a litter box and now the rabbit is free to roam the Shives’ home.
It’s a really cool story. Now I want a pet rabbit.
