Atrocity, Reprise 3
I have discussed mountaintop removal before. Mountaintop removal kills. It kils streams, towns, forests, and lives.
So this is good news.

In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

I saw that the other day in the WaPo. All I can say is it’s about time.
Oh, btw, are the oil & gas companies running commercials there about more drilling here in the US?

I don’t watch the networks, but I haven’t seen any such commercials.
I do know they want Colorado’s oil shale. As I recall, they wanted Colorado’s oil shale in the 80s, then pulled out, leading to a bust.
As I have pointed out, they want the reserves, not the oil.

So far the answers we’re hearing are about the lack of the needed technology to get it. Seems like I read somewhere that a lot of the leases have expired, or reverted back to the state too. Needs to stay that way. The western slope is also habitat to wildlife.
