Rodger Baker, Executive Director of the Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics at RANE spoke to us last week about the geopolitical importance of the U.S. inland waterways. He shared with us this quote: "Fronting on two oceans, the United States has direct access to the most important trading arteries of the world ... and between the most important economic, political, and military zones.” - Nicholas J. Spykman, America’s Strategy in World Politics (1942) [Photo 1 & 2: Rodger Baker at podium, WCI Waterways Symposium] [Photo 3: United States navigable waterways and trade routes.

We get it! It's daylight savings season, and it's DARK all. the. time. Barge transportation moves products that keep the lights on and power our homes! Stay warm and cozy this winter, and thank our inland waterways for keeping us safe and comfortable! #RiversMoveUS
