No Slick in ‘26 - Other
Extending Winter Navigation into January’s freezing temperatures to capitalize on climate change could lead to a catastropic disaster that no apology can fix. There is no financial bottom line or profit margin worth the risk of an oil or fuel spill - and nothing that justifies endangering our River, its fisheries, our economy, and our right to clean drinking water.
