Follow the money. These groups don’t hire armies of lawyers to block economic development solely on the $10 donations from grandma who saw a cute picture of a baby seal on a flyer.
Eagles and other endangered birds are being slaughtered by wind turbines and the alleged environmentalists / USF&WS is strangely silent.
Hmmm
I’d like to grouse about this growing tendency in WY.
Est. population: 500,000. Not threatened.
Shoot and eat the grouse and the eco-wackos too. But remember to spit out the bones
Wyoming is a very wealthy state with very little dependence on the federal government. They call their own shots. Natural resources are abundant and the state has varied sources of good income. They do have some poor people, but are very far from what I’d call a welfare state, and they refuse to participate in ACA.
That area around Douglas is a vast area of nothingness for miles and miles so to harass oil companies over birds is hardly respectable. The areas consumed by oil companies aren’t that big and the grouse can nest a few feet away. They’re all over the place.
The area is so underpopulated, that if you’re traveling the highway, you’d BETTER get gas at either border and hope you have an extremely economical gas use vehicle or you will rapidly find yourself in deep sneakers if you run out. You will go many miles and many hours without seeing a single town or gas station, especially at night. This state is definitely no-man’s land.
We go against the grain of washington thinking as we are God-fearing, America loving people, who believe in the 2nd Amendment and are pro-Constitution (the original, not what the libs have tried to turn it into).
I was not born here but now call it home. I love Wyoming and all it represents and believe it will stand strong against the commies that continually threaten it.
