Ahem, I believe I was the one who posted that many reserves are not yet available. In any case, it doesn't pay here to be devil's advocate and try to look at more than one side of an issue. I said more than once that I value unspoiled wilderness and dark skies, but it is a complicated issue. I also feel that nobody on this list is going to have their opinion swayed one way or the other, so my suggestion is that those who feel strongly about these issues, one way or the other, become involved in a manner that furthers their interests. The sun came out so I may set up my PST. On Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 1:10 PM, Erik Hansen <erikhansen@thebluezone.net>wrote:
Joe, is correct here vast reserves in our shale is not proven available yet and it appears the human impact is becoming unacceptable. The oil industry is paying huge sums to congress to hide the true impacts.
