"Revenue is not the driving factor here," Blackwell said. "It's the fire danger. What happened in Southern California last fall is really illustrative of what could happen here. What more wake-up call do you need?" They're mentally dead, you can't wake them up...no one's at home in there.
I'm very much in favor of protecting our forests...I enjoy hiking in them. But if they burn down they're not protected. Seems simple to me.
The forests burning down is exactly what the Sierra Club wants. It had been documented by Carry_Okie.
