[quote user="Bucyrus"][quote user="futuremodal"] It is somewhat twisted that it is the rural co-ops and utilities that are making the effort to educate the public on the fraud of anthropogenic global warming, while the railroads whose lifeblood is coal are silent on the issue.  [/quote] The way I see it, the railroads have a choice.  The can defend their interest in the future of coal by arguing against the validity of the manmade global warming agenda.  Or they can placate that agenda by jumping on the green bandwagon, and pointing out that they are ahead of the curve in fighting MMGW because they are the most energy efficient form of transportation.  I predict that they will do the latter.  I expect that we will soon be treated to ads by U.P. and others boasting about how green they are as they shoot themselves in the foot over their interest in coal.[/quote]This prediction goes back to the question of why the railroads do not defend their interest in coal by promoting coal as NOT causing MMGW.  A couple weeks ago, I predicted that the U.P. and others, rather than confront the green juggernaught by defending coal, would appease the green juggernaught by promoting that railroads are green due to their energy efficiency. However, by promoting themselves as green, railroads endorse MMGW, and thus, undermine their interest in coal.  Well tonight I saw a U.P. ad for the first time.  I am guessing it is new.  The message is exactly as I suspected it would be, except the word "green" is not mentioned.  But it does not have to be since the concept is clearly the theme of the ad.  The color was sure green.  You can't get a freight train much greener than placing it in a cornfield.
