Dan’s a scumbag... but

How about Annapolis? A lot closer (Springfield is more like 140 miles and no one willing does that drive to get their car serviced. Being forced onto the DC Beltway isn’t a rational choice.)

One of the more amusing contradictions in Maritime Law, specifically the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 or “Jones Act”, restricts power companies from hiring the ships/barges required to transport materials for wind production off the coastline.

That’s what makes this story pointless... or just useless clickbait.

It’s all a balancing act based on income and lifestyle...

I was thinking more of widening the Bridge rather than the channel. Aside from Fort Carroll you have the McCallister Kids (power transmission line pedestals) to the North.

The first thing they need to determine is the overall size of any rebuild. Obviously the pylons will need to be more robust, whether dolphins or other re-enforcements. Increasing the width to handle slightly more traffic would also require studies about the overall effect. This could mean removing everything and…

Maybe I can say this slowly... No gas delivery system is affected by this. There is zero talk about increasing gasoline prices as a result. The pricing model is determined by NYMEX New York Harbor deliveries or Gulf Coast. 

You are correct, I just bothered to look at the updated site plan.

You recognize that thousands of people will be effected in some way through their job security?

Best guess is that the proper equipment is being moved from Philly or Norfolk to remove the structure. My inner ghoul would say the remains are in the Bay by now given the current for the area.

I expect that once they officially declare this a recovery effort an effort will be made for reposition ships capable of removing the bridge structure. My assumption would be Philly or Norfolk having the types of cranes capable of doing this work given the Naval presence (Army Corp of Engineers are the group in charge…

There is no disruption to the delivery system for Gasoline...

I know you’re joking but the Port of Baltimore is the largest shipper of coal domestically. The reach of that is going to hit energy pricing and steel production.

There was a Press Conference held by Gov. Wes Moore confirming that the Bridge Crew issued a May Day due to a power failure.

Sparrow’s Point handles a large LNG storage and distribution center, I’m not sure if they have enough ground storage for containers or the ability to offload at the same capacity. (Could be a short term fix?) The water depth should be okay, the area has seen amounts of rain (3 inches last Saturday alone); so the…

Can’t speak to the accuracy of the data, purple represents the approved path.

The Key Bridge is the transportation option for moving Hazardous Material around Baltimore. Now that same traffic will have to go the long way around 695 to rejoin 95 south of the city. (Anyone whose driven that section recognizes the traffic flow is going to take a huge hit from the increased trucks.) There area also…

Amazon’s distribution center is just inside the collapsed area along with CSX’s facility. I expect that the disruption will become more detectable in the system by week’s end.
