Western ND uses beet juice of some sort, or so I am told

my understanding is - The Department blends its liquids for road control using 80 percent salt brine and 20 percent beet juice, he said. The product is then applied to the road in multiple ways. https://www.am1100theflag.com/news/nddot-engineer-explains-winter-road-treatment-process/

Not even close.

Pure blood here.

Sorry, I would have lost that bet!

My point that I was trying to make was, us conservative types should not stoop to the mentally challenged libs and thier way of thinking" assume" what we hear as " NEWS".

Libs suck that shit up and regurgitate lies and misinformation.
We should not.

so they don't want the salt to wash into the rivers that run into the ocean - got it.

Doesn't the 100 pounds of salt to treat each mile of ND highway also wash into the waterways. The state is changing to all salt instead of a salt/sand mixture

Agreed,yes plus now state pre emp snow storms with a liquid deicer,suspect the same stuff used on airport runways, does a # on vehicle paint but clears the road great unless sub zero just like road salt doesnt activate in extreme cold.

That beet juice plays holy hell on paint. My trailer I use for ice fishing looks like shit from years past. Sure wish I would have bought aluminum right away.

Ask a farmer what salt does to farm land.
There are construction methods that reduce fire hazards.
There are maintenance items that need to be done on a regular basis to reduce fire risks.
But it is not 100%
Add in high winds and you can drive embers into attics, game over.
As to building regulations, ask people in Dallas what happens when there are no storm water regulations.
