Wyoming is the least populous state. It makes sense they would be number one per capita since they have fewer people to average things out. In terms of actual output they might be one of the cleanest states however.
Lies and damned lies and what difference does make for God’s sake? Nothing, not one thing. Let the metrosexuals, homosexuals, eco-freaks and others wring their hands over this stuff, lose sleep, not enjoy their lives.
Meanwhile, we’re going hunting, fishing, camping, tramping all OVER the land, even in open meadows where wildflowers are blooming (GASP!) and run our little camp trailer A/C on MAX all day and all night... Then hook ‘er up to a (paid for) full sized p/u and go spend some money at other places to help support the tourist economy there—wherever.
Our 9 yr. old p/u ain’t gonna be sold to buy some econobox truck that can’t pull anything and we’re only talking about a V-6 for Pete’s sake. My old ‘67 inline six with coffee can size pistons could pull practically anything, what a hoot and the dern thing was IRON/steel inside and out I’m telling ya—unstoppable, still going on some ranch I hear used by the fence crew, no fenders LOL!
