Should all states use pickle juice to melt the snow since it is not costly and so effective?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would like to see information on applying this to roads, not just sidewalks and parkinglots, and I''m also interested in the application process and what kind of equipment or modification would be needed to apply it.
I didn't see any facts on effectivness, mostly just cost.
Call me unconvinced. More study is needed.

they just started using it here in Knoxville and so far with the last major storm it worked well. Its a good use for a byproduct thats for sure.

I think as long as they're not using a sweet mix that has sugar, it would be a good idea. Otherwise they'd just be spraying something to attract insects!
And rather than buying all of it, they should encourage restaurants to "recycle" their pickle juice, instead of just dumping it in the mop sink once the bucket is empty. If there is only one restaurant in Podunkville, this probably wouldn't make a big dent in the budget. But in larger cities where more people eat out, it really could.
So what that it's dill-flavored? If it can help the states cope with their strained budgets, and it's essentially salt water, it's a good idea.

Quite right to point out that it is not pickle juice but brine. Headline writers are consistently awful and misleading.
It looks to me as if brine is a good tool in a city's arsenal vs snow and ice, but it's not a silver bullet. Using the right tool for each job should save them money.
