Thoughts on what to do to address the problem? If nothing is done, the area will eventually be closed.

I thought the article interesting not that it affects motorized back country users as we do not ride inside the parks. What I am thinking is that this could be the first step in making people reimburse for search and rescues. What is everybody's thoughts on being responsible for SAR costs...
Happened on an interesting article below and got me thinking about how I might behave had I inherited a ton of money. My personal belief is that money and things have limited value and don't in themselves make you happy. A person can be happy with very little and others are miserable...
The attached article caught my eye. I had read about the Swiss research but it seems a bunch of moose smoochin Canucks are bringing this close to a commercial reality. If this really does work there is hope that one can extract CO2 from the air reducing greenhouse gases while making usable fuel...
Orphan/unattended wells are a problem on land but in the Gulf of Mexico, it is amazing nobody is doing something about it. Well I guess that is not true. A whole pile of new off shore leases are being granted to make sure a America is Great again...
Interesting and seemingly well researched while still being as balanced as it could be using the lens of today to peer back 125 years ago.
Thought a bit of the reasoning for the hate behind the statue removal was useful. He seemed aware that the policies of the day were actually killing...
A little article on Porche's newest 919 Hybrid with a video of a record setting lap where the driver breaks the previous lap record BY A MINUTE! The engine is a V4 turbo with electric assist. Essentially just a tweaked Prius that goes 380 KMH...
Interesting Article and seems quite well balanced.

Some of their headlines are very funny. These guys take a single dog hair of current events and make a carpet.

We can complain (and do) about everything. Other drivers, politicians, taxes, belt and oil burning fragile sleds but now the last thing we have is now broken...

Attached is a link to an article on toughening up distracted driving laws that seems to put it in the same category as impaired driving. I am not a fan of increased discretion to police officers. My personal experience is that there are too many who behave poorly in a routine traffic stop...
I get so tired of the shrill voices on both sides of this issue. Here is a nice, to the point logical explanation why TM is a good and reasonable thing. Also takes a bit of a well deserved shot at environmentalist types who ignore something worse while protesting something that is clearly...
Saw Stephen Colbert last night. The youth of the USA appear to be truly motivated to get something happening. The response from the Republican party officials truly are ridiculous (we need teachers to be armed too). Certainly amusing watching people who are at the bottom of a pit pick up an...
