I am really surprised after the spills they had

The politicians in this state have been owned by big business forever. The populace has the lowest rating for education in the nation (Mississippi May be lower).

there is a generational attitude  of pride in suffering. They believe all of the ads that the politicians and energy companies run on tv about the jobs that will be lost if there are any changes in the industry. As much as I really love my home, I hate this state government and the attitude they have toward its citizens.

I'm also curious about who owns all of the bottled water companies. Once they poison all of our water, they have total control.

an article about the the tanks used to transport oil

On Monday, a train hauling 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in West Virginia.The violent crash punctured several of the tankers. Eventually 19 were engulfed in flames. Now, more questions are swirling about whether these tankers are safe enough to carry crude.

Old cars, new crude
Initially, the crash had many pointing to a seemingly similar accident in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec in 2013, in which crude oil tankers also ignited following a derailment. In the Quebecois crash, many of the tanker cars involved were DOT-111s—a train car not designed to transport flammable crude oil, but that regularly does so on North American rail lines.
