Tribes in Minnesota are paying the steepest price for the steel industry’s mercury pollution
Demand for steel is on the rise globally, driven by population growth and the expanding economies in developing nations. The material will also be important to the green energy transition, forming the backbone of infrastructure like wind turbines, solar panels, and hydroelectric dams.

Is the Amtrak Borealis train really profitable?
On May 21, Amtrak debuted a second train in the St. Paul–Chicago market. Initial ridership was encouraging, prompting a wave of media attention turning all sorts of supposition into fact, including that the train was profitable, had stolen a substantial portion of the air travel market, and would quickly lead to a third and even fourth Amtrak service in the corridor. I’ve been covering rail transportation in the region since the 1990s and the drumbeat of nonsense got so thick on social and mainstream media that I decided to do some of my own ciphering. Here goes:
