National Wildlife Federation Prepared to Sue Montana Over Mega-loads. By George Prentice. Boise Weekly.
Exxon is now getting ready to test taking the megaloads up Highway 12 and through Montana. There could be as many as 200 gigantic loads from Exxon sent to Alberta. Some, however, are being broken down into smaller loads so they don’t have to travel on beautiful Highway 12.
