Since, as we all know, there have never ever before in the history of the planet been beetle infestations or blights or tree die-offs of any kind, I’m terrified.
I would suggest you look at the forests. It is a real problem when looking at water sheds and fire protection and wild life habitat. It can be handled but only with the right chemicals.............that work.
A great deal of the blame for this pine beetle infestation can be laid at the feet of the Liberals/Enviros.
Aprox. ten years or so ago there was a huge forest ‘blow-down’ near Steamboat Springs. Thousands of trees over hundreds of acres were literally blown down.
Environmental policies in place would not allow the trees to be removed and turned into useable products. As the trees were left to rot it provided a perfect breeding ground for the pine beetles.
So, instead of utilizing the trees and making profits..as well as realizing tax dollars from the products...these same enviro nutjobs are going to spend millions of tax payer dollars on a study of what to do.
Liberal policies just suck.
