Issue Position: Ban Coal Trains

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Transportation Energy

Coal cars are open to the wind. A ton of coal dust blows from each car during transportation. Coal dust is laden with mercury, which poisons our fisheries. Unless loads are covered and cars are sealed, coal trains can and should be banned for violating littering and water pollution laws.
