Dave,

So the energy companies are doing this because they have no demand? They are logging because there is no demand. You have yours and no one else can have the same? Do you have kids? Are they not going to use resources ? You just bought a new pickup and camper that probably gets under 20 MPG and you have the nerve to say anything about evironmental protection relating to energy production. How about all the ecosystem effected by the production of the materials to build that set up? A true environmentalist would take the train or go greyhound before he would shell out $40k to trach the environement. No lets look at your home and community. How many wetlands and ecosystems where whacked for your life style.
I hate to see roads punched and mines opened as much as the next guy but I look in the mirror to see the cause. Our politicians only do what we direct them to to with our dollar vote. The Dodge Ram and Camper are screaming at president Bush to take action to develop energy. Turn the finger at thyself first!
