"Road Salts Wash Into Mississippi River, Damaging Ecosystems and Pipes" [1]

The latest Backgrounder explores how the energy permitting system works (or doesn’t), why Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin may really be pushing for its reform and the reason some environmentalists concede reform may have green benefits.
