  putting the smoke back in the Smokies

  This doesn't bode well for the Smoky Mtn National Park....just downwind from the hazardous / nuclear waste incinerator at Oak Ridge and all the many coal plants whose emissions funnel down through the southern foothills of the AppalachiansOn EPA plans to loosen air-quality rules near national parks posted 1 year, 5 months ago 4 Responses

  Cool the firebreath buddy. Have you heard of mercury by any chance? Take a look at orca or maybe alaskan innuits and the salmon they rely on....some of the highest concentrations of mercury in the world, not b/c of any fault of their own. Sierra was very instrumental in informing people of Bush's ridiculous mercury rule and thankfully it has now been overturned. One less layer of BS to clean off our laws after this 8 years of hell is over. I hope the coal barons appreciate this mother's day gift.

  couldnt make it 10 seconds

  I'm sorry, I couldnt even listen to what she had to say. She's fine no doubt and I'm definitely a red-blooded american man, but that was just ridiculous. Anyone who thinks this kind of vanity is going to bring about a more sustainable population needs to spend a little less time in the bathroom and a little more considering places like Las Vegas.On How to get people to pay attention to peak oil posted 1 year, 6 months ago 45 Responses

  I definitely didnt have to scroll down to know who posted that first comment ROFL....copying my comment from this story in the blog....

  Its not a new tactic in business or gov to ask for alot just to get a little. All in all, its more sprawl...

  ironic that if the NRDC, Sierra Club and especially the Center for Biological Diversity did not spend so much energy in an ill informed fight
  There is no irony in this. It was the possibility of a "fight" with NRDC, Sierra, et al that brought Tejon around after a few years. Its not over though. Only 170,000 acres have been protected. 60k now have the option of purchase by the public. Check the article below: "plans still must be approved by state and federal regulatory authorities, as well as Los Angeles and Kern counties."

  "The agreement guarantees Tejon Ranch Co. the right to proceed with massive development projects near Interstate 5: Centennial, a planned community of 23, 000 homes east of Quail Lake in northern Los Angeles County; and Tejon Mountain Village in southern Kern County, which will include a resort featuring spas and boutique hotels, commercial space, golf courses and 3, 400 estate homes. The Tejon Industrial Complex in the Kern County portion of the ranch is already home to IKEAâ€TMs 2-million-square-foot main distribution warehouse, among others."
