      As much as it sucks, until we reduce the need for cars, northern rural areas are going to need to use salt for roads to be usable. Of course, if global warming gets worse it won’t be an issue

        “Global warming” doesn’t mean warmer winters. It means extreme summers and winters and nothing in between, with a global temperature raising.

        Besides the already stated fact that global warming will only make winters worse, there are better ways like cleaning the snow (ok, that’s radical) or using abrasives like sand or gravel.

          Clearing the snow doesn’t fix the ice that snowplows leave behind and gravel/sand is a straight placebo. That’s why the roads get salted/brined.
