Dave part of the problem is that the environmentalists have become a new church and they don't like anyone stepping into their church which is Mother Earth. Of course they can go there because they are the priests of this new church. Thus you see the shutting down of more and more of these parks. Soon camping will be forbidden in Yosemite but you can stay at a hotel there for 300 $ a night with the friends of Bill and HIllary

Dave, haven't the caribou in Alaska been flourishing since the Alaska pipeline was built? I believe I read somewhere that the warmth created from the pipeline has induced more berths?

Actually, Dave, I do know that caribous contribute to GDP (I was speaking somewhat facetiously). They just don't contribute directly to any company's bottom line, which I think is the definition some people around here are using. GDP takes no account of a country's environment, its natural assets. Generally, if you devastate the natural environment to, say, clear-cut the forests, GDP will show a big gain from selling the wood. A GDP drop won't come until much later, when the hills slide into the sea.
