WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (TNSJou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Trains have been on the sidelines of electrification efforts for a long time in the U.S. because they account for only 2% of transportation sector emissions, but diesel freight trains emit 35 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and produce air pollution that leads to $6.5 billion in health costs, resulting in an estimated 1,000 prem . . .
