Sputnik International News also did a write up based on the interview and press release. (Please note a correction however. The first leg of the shipment, from LaSalle, IL to Port Huron, MI, will be by truck, along interstate highways. Once at Port Huron, however, it is unclear whether the shipment will continue on into Canada by land (truck or train), or by water (barge).)
