N.J. officials were hoping a barge with 40 tons of salt would

arrive from Maine. But the vessel wasn't flying the American

flag and officials couldn't get clearance from Homeland Security

to come to the Port of Newark. The barge sailed empty, leaving

the salt in Maine.





40 tons on a barge? Why waste the time? Two semi dumps would transport

that amount.

The salt shortage persists in New Jersey. Officials have failed to get

permission for a barge with 40 tons of salt to set sail for the
tristate

region





Ugh, I see the problem. Fox & New Jersey!





Jersey City has been using the more expensive liquid brine and sand to

combat the snow on city streets. Residents say snow mounds and places
to

dump the snow are also a problem.





Good grief! It only costs approx .05 to make a gallon of brine, with 93%

salinity. Maybe it's time for New Jersey to consult with experts in the

transportation dept, about using brine, and how to make it.

What do you make brine out of, if not salt, idiot? You act
like using salt for roads, parking lots, etc is something dumb and
unique to NJ. In fact, the same methods are used in most states
that need to keep roads safe. CT and NY for example are also
reporting salt shortages.

Apparently you are uneducated in the making of brine. For example, you do
not know how much salt it take to make a gallon of brine, where as I do.
You do not know the limitations of brine, where as I do.

My point is brine is _less_ expensive to use, than salt on the roads, vs
what Fox reporting is telling you.

However, I see I struck a nerve by pointing out the misinformation by Fox,
and NJ. You must be associated with either or both.

Now, who is the idiot?

BTW, you thought cutting the xpost would prevent me from reading your
asinine post. I fixed it for you.
