Is he serious? Bernie Sanders promises to “take trucks off the road” if elected

2seaoat wrote:You have to have a threshold of intelligence to understand what Bernie is saying.  The movement of freight is much more energy efficient by train and as we invest in our infrastructure and develop extensive high speed corridors, freight transfers to trucking at the local level will be efficient and will create jobs while saving fuel and importing of oil.  That coupled with NG on Semis is going to make the Pickens plan of five years ago nearing reality.  Government made the rail systems and interstate highway systems and now we need to get smart networks which utilize rail.

Wordslinger wrote:Fuck trucks and truckers who think it's their god-given right to spew tons of diesel fumes into our air.  Bernie's absolutely right -- a real modern rail system would move more freight at a fraction of the energy cost and environmental costs incurred by our current system.

Let the truckers re-train and find cleaner jobs.   Let's face it, the big shots who are buying trucker time would shove all the truckers off a cliff if it would save even 3% of their current costs.   And Markle would wave the biggest flag in the corporate cheering section ... LOL

Wow...Wordslinger is in an exceptionally hate filled mindset today.

I've known a lot of over the road truckers and never known one who felt driving a big rig was a "god-given right".  

We must keep in mind that Wordslinger and his beloved Environmentalist would be chaining themselves to trees to prevent the spread of more rails systems.

Once again, Markle's inadequate and deeply disturbed mental capacity leaves him spewing fantasy as reality.  

The context of this thread deals with rational environmentalism -- a perspective Markle can't handle.  Ask yourself, just why would Environmentalists, beloved or otherwise, demonstrate to prevent the construction of rail lines which would ultimately result in a dramatic reduction of fossil fuel consumption and the diesel exhaust produced by thousands of trucks?  

The problem isn't whacko tree-hugging environmentalists.  The real problem is that corporate flunkies like Markle absolutely refuse to accept that anyone who wants a cleaner, safer environment vs. reaping profits via raping the earth, is absurd, misdirected, and stupid.   Remember, Markle is the kind of guy who laughs at the plight of  environmental victims -- like the kids of Flint, Michigan, who were gifted with ingesting high doses of lead in pursuit of cutting costs.  Markle and all of his "screw the earth, let's get all the profits we can, while the getting is good" bloodsucking corporate brethren can't wait to bank their profits as they march us all to oblivion.    

Next, we'll hear from Markle as he presents "selected" scientific research that proves beyond any reasonable doubt that high doses of lead via polluted drinking water is good for kids.  Surely the robber barons of Monsanto and Du Pont would fund the studies... the same way Exxon generates research that proves that Global Warming is a farce.

Reality.

Oh yeah, as you know it is NASA, among others that have proven that Gloval Warming is a farce, not Exxon.

Sorry Charlie.  NASA's satellites have provided photo records that prove a dramatic melting of arctic iceflows, and the trend is steadily increasing.  Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't take up my challenge and attempt to prove that the ingestion of lead in drinking water causes no health problems ...

Good riddance!

Markle's outrageous defense of the big oil companies clearly demonstrates what he cares about -- which naturally excludes the environment, and the health of untold millions of people -- in pure pursuit of bloodsucking riches.  

One side wants a spread of political power and riches, with genuine benefits for the human species.  The other wants profit and profit only, and fuck the consequences for mother earth and our grand children.

Pick and support the side you favor best.

By a vast majority, Americans understand the fact that the old Global Warming theories are nothing but a scam to steal power from the citizen at a massive cost.

You really don't get it, do you?  The central issue isn't climate change, it's pollution and environmental degradation.  You know, the dirty, negative health aspects of burning fossil fuels.  Aspects you and your bloodsucking fuel company robber barons disregard in favor of immediate profits.

It could well turn out that at 180 ppm co2 was dangerously close to tipping toward mass extinction on earth. Perhaps the human recycling of co2 that the earth so efficiently sequesters saved mankind and life. Maybe someday we'll know much more about the functions and variables that have controlled earth from a waterworld to a snowball over and over and over... we certainly don't have a certainty of that science now. Science is rarely settled despite what your sensational tv and internet tell you.

The "solutions" that the un are inching toward are mainly redistributive... that is a net zero effect/result.

What you always ignore, and now you're trying to change horses from Global Warming advocate, since is has been debunked, so now you're switching to pollution.

You neglect to note that the life expectancy of Americans and virtually other nation has increased in spite of what you consider a deadly atmosphere.

You also neglect to take note of the hundreds of millions, if not billions of people who have had their living standards and health improved because they now have electricity.

How do you become so cruel and heartless that you would deny millions of people a better and healthier life.

This is an honest statement from a Socialist/Communist that SHARED MISERY is their goal for all Americans.

Way to go.

In fact, the life expectancy of Americans is lower than that of several European countries who burn less fossil fuels per capita.

Electricity from Natural Gas, Wind, Solar and Geo-thermal sources has in many cases reached developmental stages with costs per energy unit considerably less than that of burning coal.   What's cruel and heartless, is to condemn American children to respiratory problems exacerbated by coal smoke.  But then, that kind of problem is meaningless to bloodsucking coal mining companies and their flunkies ... and if the shoe fits ...
