The best way to control a problem is to get rid of it. In the nuclear, aviation, public safety, manufacturing etc. If there is a less dangerous substitute material, it is used.Accidents, leaks, spills and messes will always occur. What do you want? Something lethal/corrosive or something with low toxicity and benign. Rather than always fighting an anti corrosion battle plus knowing there is going to be one na$tey rusting paint eating mess should there be a tire failure. Instead of always having to look over your shoulder to keep from getting bit in the backside. Just get rid of what maybe sneaking up on you.

I wonder when white table sugar is so cheap. How many pounds of sugar would keep 100 gallons of water from freezing hard at 0F?
