Atrocity, Reprise 3
I have discussed mountaintop removal before. Mountaintop removal kills. It kils streams, towns, forests, and lives.
So this is good news.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

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.
