Railroad offered town $25,000. Not per person. Total. For the inconvenience.

Well to be fair that's almost what the CEO makes each day

$5 per affected person seems fair, right? I'm pretty sure this should all be solved with a trip to the McDonald's to hit up their value menu.

So crazy, all these back room deals with deregulations. Lining pockets. And who suffers? Chumps like you and me. We live near the Schiller Power plant, after a day all our snow is black. Hopefully the Ohio poison will disperse.

Solar panels and windmills will never produce the amount of electricity our society needs. Powerplants are needed. Helping them with technologies to burn fossil fuel more cleaner and efficiently is what people need to get on board with. Schiller has 3 boilers. 1 is a wood burner the other 2 are coal. The wood boiler ran most of the time. The others when peak energy usage occured. Winter and summer .

While it’s true that there needs to be a transition period, it’s absolutely nonsense that solar and wind can’t produce enough. The amount of energy man produces with fossil fuels is minuscule compared to the sun’s energy, which keeps the entire earth from nearing absolute zero. Solar alone could power the entire US with about 65000 acres easily allocated in the midwest deserts. Storage is the only current obstacle, given the day/night cycle. If we subsidized solar with even 1/2 of what we spend subsidizing oil in the US, we’d be done with this already

However windmills and solar will never be able to replace fossil fuel stations, because we aren’t building them. 😬

Rail company owned by black rock. Even if it was 25k per person I would still consider that a slap in the face!
