Good luck on stopping the unthinking man's energy juggernaut before the bushoids leave Washington. Try we must. Not only does the forest have to be altered at the drill sites but when they install wells, all of them will be treated with herbicides no doubt. If anyone wants to see what such a National Forest looks like, you have only to go to the Carson National Forest in Northern New Mexico. A few years ago we rambled through there and saw zero campers, tourists and hunters. We did see hundreds of gas wells, pumping stations and pipelines criss-crossing the place, defacing the landscape and augmenting wildlife habitat. The other disturbing aspect of this "privatized" national forest was the hundreds of wildcatters in their trucks and rigs all over the roads and off them. They were actually driving hazards and drove as if they owned the place. An energy conference in Springfield a few days ago came to the conclusion that CONSERVATION and INNOVATION were what needs to be pushed on a national level. That's called "leadership" and something that's been sorely lacking in our country while the bushies played war in Eye rack.
