Special Feature: Mineral King
Within Sequoia National Park is Mineral King, the splendid mountain wilderness in which Earthjustice took its first steps. 40 years later, we are as committed as ever to the legacy that started there: using the law to protect the wildlife and landscapes that shape our nation's character. Welcome to Mineral King Valley.
I gave up on Obama long ago. He's an environmental disaster. Fast-tracking Shell's drilling permits in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas is the latest assault on the environment from the Obama administration.
American public opinion is so fracked that there is no way to combat
our well-subsidized oil industry. Selfishness seems to be the only
thing we have in common. I have no answers - just a suggestion to
conserve, cherish life and help the helpless. Honor the birds and try not
to add to their woes. Get right with God, who is not owned by anyone!
God help us all, especially those who have no voice.
In 1999 I had the opportunity to discuss energy policy with a gentleman from the Energy Department. He said of course the CEOs and all those running the Big Oil corporations knew there was a limit to the oil we will be able to depend upon and they already did have alternatives in store for when the available oil was deminished sufficiently to impact their livelihoods but until that time came, there would be no real incentive to move away from oil because their infrastructure and monies were already in place. Why spend more money moving away from oil until the cost made sense to them. Not very good news for the creatures living in the Arctic or anywhere else!
We as the public have known about these dangers and the decreasing mount of oil since the early and mid 1970,s....and I am sure that the "powers that be" have known much longer...None the less nothing is done. Nothing has changed.
I am outraged that we are not hearing about anything of value any longer on the nets. Even MSNBC seems to focus soley on the games going on between the contenders for Puppet-in-chief.
If not for e-mail announcements from venues like this we, the few who really WANT to know, would remain in the dark....
Isn't our government created FOR the people, BY the people,to CARE & PROTECT our people, from as much harm as we can AVOID to our environment(animals a top priority)? This is becoming overwelming, and being only 1 person, I can't accomplish what I see needs to be done. I do not posess the funds to keep our world from being annihilated by the wrong persons in charge. Surely, SOMEONE out there has THE answer and must come forward NOW.
PLEASE!!! We need you !
It is amazing how Oil Hush Money can hide the destruction of our planet by the DRILL BABY DRILL folks who
Deceive and feed an irresponsible “Consume and Throwaway” society.
One would think that these folks are true Heathens – but they claim a God Given right to self-indulgence! …
No matter the consequences.
They call it Freedom!
They strongly defend their “Rights” to Rape and Plunder the lands (and seas) – WITHOUT REGULATION.
They fight to remove any existing oversight and regulation – saying that it will destroy commerce!
They would rather destroy the Earth’s systems which allowed human civilization to develop.
These lovers of “Freedom” truly seek an anarchy characterized by Corporate Greed driving consumerism
with consumer goods and unsustainable practices supplied by plundering processes.
They want a Madison Avenue based virtual world where citizens are anesthetized with screen based
“entertainment” while they dismantle nature slowly – bit by bit.
It is coming to Alaska again soon … see the mess in Sweden – which is not getting the news it should.
In the meantime, Oil Balls are still coming up on Gulf beaches.
I live in sweden & the news about this oil spill is so random & small that I started to think that oil companies is getting away with putting the story to sleep.
They showed the fist news but dosent have any follow up to talk about how the can cope with cleansing birds, seals & nature.
Makes me wonder if the money talks as usual
This is just shameful. I'm so tired of people being more concerned with gas prices and the latest movie or TV show than with the environmental costs of our throw-away society. Will people only wake up to the fact that we are destroying the earth when it is too late, when it is already destroyed?
We have lost all contact with reality and have taken the fastest train to destruction. JST
