If you flip that switch on the wall and expect the lights to come on...
If you filled your gas tank this week...
If you drive on roads & highways that need road salt in winter...
If you've waited behind a rail crossing...
If you've been stuck in traffic of semi-tractor trailers...
If you live or visit anyplace that's made of concrete or steel...
If you're an American farmer...
If you're in the co

If you're a consumer...
You're impacted by barge transportation and inland river locks & dams.
