Marin is a waste.

where did I mention 101?
The trains remove the trucks that will go east over 37.

The trucks now hauling garbage for Sonoma county use Lakeville Hwy to 37, a much more direct route than the freight trains will, so there will be no savings at all using trains. There will be more fuel being burnt using trains and the cost of the infrastructure will probably make the task of hauling Sonomas's garbage 3 times as expensive. Let's hope that Sonoma county lets the new private operator reopen the old landfill on Meecham Rd. That will completely eliminate any need for trains and save the Sonoma county rate payers a bundle.

....deport the thousands of illegals and cut down on tons of waste.

Support ICE, deport these criminals back to where-ever they came from.

I have read that Sonoma county does a very good job at zero waste, but they currently have no landfill in Sonoma county so all of is trucked out hwy 37 to Vacaville, 101 to Novato and and 37 to Suisun City. Suisun City is a huge operation that has recently come under fire for getting too big for their britches. The ratepayers of Sonoma county spend millions of dollars per year on diesel fuel to haul their garbage. It doesn't matter at all if it is hauled on trucks or trains, it's still diesel fuel being burnt. Hopefully Sonoma will to reopen a landfill in their county, but for the time being it's burn baby burn (diesel fuel).

It's not 25 times shorter so the savings will still be there. The route is irrelevant. the fuel economy difference is the big factor. Regardless , the point was that the garbage could be shipped out of county eastward and none would end up in Marin, or sonoma. If we could all reduce our non recyclable garbage that would be even better. Then none would have to be shipped anywhere.

I saw a documentary last night about landfills in this country. It was scary. No doubt we must change our fuel burning, wasteful consumerism.
They showed a feature on what Urban Ore is doing in Berkley, that would be great if more people started business' like that to recycle manufactured goods.
Our greed to consume and keep building more is choking us right now. In San Rafael they have built many office buildings that are not needed now, and they are sitting rotting with a 41 percent vacancy rate and counting. Now they want to gut an office building and build 125 more SMART apartment/condos right near the Civic Center. What a waste to build a huge office building and use it for 10 years, let it sit for 3 years and then demolish it and haul it off to the landfill.
And then come in and build tacky shared thin wall TOD units next to the freeway which nobody will buy. It will end up like the Millworks in Novato, the TOD's in downtown Petaluma and Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. All a waste until they turn those buildings over to Housing and Urban development for section 8 tenants. With all the continuing job shedding going on in this country there will be a whole lot more people needing subsidized housing, at least we have somewhere to house them now, the Millworks.
