Oh, and BTW, that gold mine next to Yellowstone NP that was defeated recently by NPS and USFS will ow be going forward as will a new phosphate mine in Southern Idaho that will ruin drinking water, hunting/fishing access and so much more... like a new dam on the Yellowstone River which is the longest undammed river in the US that will destroy sturgeon populations.
