If only they could create a barrier against liberals. Then they could sell it to Aspen, Crested Butte, Durango, and Paonia.

Funny how liberal environmental wackos get some common sense when it is their houses on the line...

Rich liberals get firebreaks while they give money to groups who will sue if you try to build one.

Figures.

So cutting trees is OK to protect the part time houses of the limousine liberals, but it is improper to protect the proles?

Pine Beetles means too many trees-—more trees per acre than the average precipitation can sustain, thus dryer trees which are much more vulnerable to the beetles. The Trees they are cutting down now could have been logged all along, preventing the whole problem.

I’ve said it many times because it bears repeating....Environmentalists are BAD for the environment.

Glad to see the Colorado Forest Service getting off their duffs.

We had an article in our newspaper yesterday quoting them as saying that they've given up fighting them on the southern end of the San Isabel National Forest.

They also said that the only cutting going on is being done by private land owners adjacent to the forest. They got that part right!

It's so bad down here now that they'd have to clear cut the whole forest.

The mountain pine beetle epidemic has hit ...hard.

Perhaps what is needed is the right pesticide.

Wow!
A tip of the hat to “the powers that be” in Vail.

They’ve managed to manifest a level of sanity that is still in short
supply in Southern California.
(where a stange-bedfellows alliance of envirowackos and homeowners
leave the dead trees up for fuel during the next firestorm)

some of the felled trees will go toward a “green” cause: biomass energy.

I usually call it firewood myself, but I guess this now helps me speak "Liberal"
