California May Break the Freight-Rail Network

"California says the new costs can be passed along to customers. But this makes the effort all the more misguided. Trains produce about one-tenth the greenhouse gasses per ton-mile as trucks; to the extent that this rule induces companies to ship by road instead of rail, it will actually worsen the problem it intends to solve. More to the point, railroads — which produce just 2% of transportation emissions nationwide — are the wrong target for such heavy-handed intervention."
