That cheap salt we use to free the roads from ice? Not so cheap in the long run. The public expects clear, safe roads, but we don't get it... the salt is pretty harmful. So, we're safe immediately, but it costs us in the long run. This piece explores alternatives and salt-reduction possibilities.
This is a good winter-storm piece. Next time there is a big blizzard, this piece should be on your station, especially for stations with a large green-leaning population.
