The only good thing about this is tha ethanol is a substance that is naturaly biological degradesble, and probably will not cause problems like if it was a petroleum product.

Obama-era safety rule for trains was repealed under Trump. Lobbyists for railway companies argued the cost for implementing the safety rule was too high. Profit trumped safety under former president Trump. That was his idea of how to make America great.https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/17/occupy-democrats/obama-era-safety-rule-high-hazard-trains-was-repea/

Trump bragged about making rail shipments more dangerous.

That’s not what caused it.
Too much profit , again .
And nothing on new innovation or infrastructure.
Greed mostly ,
Corporate Greed.
Biden does not favor corporate greed.

Probably wouldn't meet the standards:

""Ethanol is not considered an air toxin, but the Environmental Protection Agency does consider one of its byproducts, acetaldehyde, a hazardous air pollutant.""

Really, does he need four mansions (looks like greed)? There's a lot of homeless people who could use a place to stay this winter, especially since we started importing i******s!

First it was problems with ships unable to unload, then it was food processing plants either destroyed or closing now it's railroad trains derailing. Where once these things happened once or twice a year now they're happening on an almost daily basis. A person might even get the idea that this is all planned.

Funny how they keep blaming these derailments on Trump, while Biden and his T***sportation Secretary Mr. Pete have been in office for more than two years. I guess pursuing g***n e****y and equity are more important than safety.
