She’s going to make a sequel?

Weird, in that she is more likely to take the environmental damagers to court than to hold protests. I think.

I live less than a mile as the crow flies from large rail yard. Last week there was a newspaper article about a derailment and spill of Magnesium Chloride. The article came out a couple days after the derailment and spill and there was nothing done to notify anyone in the area.

In researching Magnesium Chloride, I’m not sure if it should qualify as toxic or not, but apparently it is not classified as toxic.

In Colorado they use it as road salt. IIRC it’s reserved for larger snow storms or ice, and while I think it’s safe enough, it’s somewhat corrosive. If you drive where mag chloride is used, you’re gonna want to wash your car.
