LNG rail car“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emanuel, when he was Barack Obama’s White House Chief of Staff. By any standard you use, the rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, was (is!) a serious issue. To compare that disaster with a hypothetical train derailment of LNG (liquefied natural gas), referring to specially-outfitted rail cars that would carry the LNG (not yet allowed) as "bomb trains," is the height of arrogance and ignorance. Yet a plan to use LNG rail cars to deliver Marcellus LNG from Bradford County, PA, to a port on the shoreline of the Delaware River in Gibbstown, N.J. is being compared to East Palestine in a laughable op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
