What's the Snowmo' Deal?

New, more restrictive plan released for Yellowstone snowmobiles 3

A new plan allowing fewer snowmobiles into Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks has been released by the National Park Service which would cut by nearly 40 percent the number of loud, polluting snowmobiles allowed into the parks each day. The previous plan called for allowing up to 540 snowmobiles a day, but that plan was struck down by a judge in September.

    snowmobiles are running automobile enginesThe loud and polluting snowmobiles were banned several years ago. Only the ones that meat noise and emissions standards are allowed in the park. In the summer over ten thousand unregulated automobiles are allowed in the park and you don't even mention the truly loud and polluting vehicles and the shear numbers that are allowed in the summer.
    If you want peace and tranquility in the park then go visit it in the winter as it is much quieter than the summer and the geysers even emit far more pollutants than the snowmobiles do.

    The Correct Number Would Be ZeroBut we can't expect much of a fascist administration that cares only about money and business.  Let's see if Obama is worth anything on this issue.
