	Gods Graves Glyphs	Luckily for the artifacts and sites, the oil companies have thousands of leases that they're not even using -- otherwise the damage would be far worse. /sarc I noticed that one of the projects mentioned was geothermal, which is considered "renewable" and "non-polluting" and "alternative".

Wanted to read this story. Really did. But I couldn't get past this:

At Nine Mile Canyon in central Utah, truck exhaust on a road to the gas fields is posing a threat...

[Foolsgold]

drill for carbon dioxide

Drill for what??????

[dalereed]

What a load, they were nomadic and scattered their crap all over the country.

Once they moved on it was abandon, plow it under.

“a giant new project to drill for carbon dioxide”

This author is getting hysterical. I wonder which environmental group(s) he gets his information from?

[Clemenza]

Yeah, the culprit is old man Bush disturbing the Indian burial ground for oil. He would’ve gotten aways with it if it wasn’t for us gosh darn kids, er, journalists.

[VeniVidiVici]

Obviously the New York Times is against all forms of energy generation.

Which is ok. Soon enough they’ll be turning out the lights which will save us a ton.

is posing a threat, environmentalists and Indian tribes say, to 2,000 years of rock art and imagery. In Montana, a coal-fired power plant has been proposed near Great Falls on one of the last wild sections of the Lewis and Clark trail.

First of all I would like to repeat my position about unnamed "environmentalists and indian tribes."

My experience ahs been these are always a few obscure, ignorant and bitter individuals, whose sole goal in life is to feel important, by bringing the rest of the world to a halt.

Even toxic waste dumps can be charaterized as "unique." Doesn't mean that they must be preserved in their "pristine" state.

Indian rock drawings? Assuming (big if) that they are worth saving what is the rationalization? We can admire them them while we are freezing in the dark?

What's that defintion of insanity again?

No problem.. All they have to do is remove the pipe when the resources run out.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Being part Native American, I don't like to see the Native Culture plowed under any more than I entertain the thought of someone plowing under the Smithsonian Institution buildings, the Capitol or the White House. There has to be a way to save the artifacts and to use the resources under the artifacts without obliterating or destroying the land.

If we can put a man on the Moon and build a Space Station, we have the ability to save the artifacts and make use of the resources under the artifacts.

These Native American artifacts are family heirlooms and are just as important as the items your family has passed down from generation to generation. Maybe these artifact/heirlooms got "misplaced" or "lost" or "left" by our ancestors, but they are still very important to us and should be important to anyone who lives in the USofA.

It’s always something with these no growth people.
