    This is great news IMO. The more painful real affects of the climate crisis hits the US, the more real it gets, hopefully driving action.

    In this case we get a double whammy of reduced consumption and pain.

      You think the average American could put two and two together in this situation?

        Or rail. It’s more efficient than trucks.

          Not really.

          The reason why they are using the Panama Canal is because there isn’t enough capacity at any American port on the West Coast. If additional port space gets built, it will likely be in Mexico, which has relatively poor rail access to the USA.

            You know, I bet oil companies would try to sell a transatlantic truck tunnel as being good for the environment and cost effective way to transport stuff.

      Agreed. Although i’d rephrase that:

      Until the economy is hit, nothing will happen.
