If you want to save farmland for food support solar PV instead of corn ethanol https://t.co/68Araxo7J7

[Jason, @jasonc_nc]

Effectively all growth in corn production over the last 20 years is for ethanol.

~20 million acres of conservation land, grassland, and soybean rotation was turned into corn monoculture that effectively strip mines the topsoil.

Meanwhile it’s the most fertilizer dependent crop with only a 40% uptake rate. So ~1.7 million tons of nitrogen runoff flows into the Mississippi basin annually while also polluting their own water supplies. This runoff ends up expanding the Gulf deadzone, which is also where 40% of domestic seafood comes from.

It’s hard to find a worse way to create fuel, with a wicked level of waste and downstream consequences.

Would be helpful to redirect data center moral panic to reduce cropland devoted to ethanol

@jazayerli Was that over the shortened corner fence or more into the "unmoved" center?

[Bill Roush @WmRoush]

@MidwesternPRA Yes, and an additional way to add service to Des Moines is the FRA suggested route from St. Paul to KC via DM.

I really think the #Royals moving next to Union Station is a home run. Of course there’ll be downsides, it won’t be universally loved, but I’m excited to give it a shot.
- Already established nearby gathering spots at Union Station, Crown Center, Liberty Memorial hill.
- 6 modes of transportation to get to games, all but one will be easier than current location.
- Could have local Amtrak train routes come from across the metro to provide alternative transit.
- Provides reason for more investment in number of streetcars, Amtrak train routes, and potentially nearby roads/I-35.
- Visually cool area/backdrop: Western Auto sign, skyline, train tracks, surrounding fountains
- Activities for all ages already in nearby area: Crown Center inside/terrace, Legoland, Sea Life, ice skating, ferris wheel, Penn Valley park, Liberty Memorial, Union Station, Science City, planetarium, theaters, access to P&L district/T-Mobile center.
- Much more accessible to greater number of fans in more central location, so more likely to draw in casual fans.
- Allows for more investment in key city venues like Crown Center/Union Station, without needing to build from scratch.
- 20k parking spots within a 10-minute walk of the stadium, including established garages for Crown Center/Union Station, and lots of drop off areas.
- Quick access to hotels, restaurants, bars and crossroads district just across the tracks. Appeals to out of town visitors and adds pre/postgame options for locals.
- Plus any development/additions the team/city/state will make to improve the area and its amenities. (Obviously not official designs pictured)

Deborah Fischer Stout is president of the Northern Flyer Alliance, a group that advocates for additional passenger rail options.

Could one of those options be to expand commuter rail between Kansas City and Lawrence?

You can count Stout as one of those who hope it’s possible.

@MoDOT_KC When I-70 is shut down later this year (correct?) maybe some folks could plan to use the Amtrak Missouri River Runner for travel from Lee's Summit, Independence and KC. It's pretty cheap.

[Bill Roush @WmRoush]

@RenewMO This would a years long halt to increased energy production in Missouri. Not exactly a growth strategy.
