Environment & Energy

... there are vast swathes of the West that are denuded and defiled to mine for minerals of every sort. But people ain't gonna give up their goodies just to save the planet. As I've observed many times, they all think, "What has posterity ever done for me?"
Just as the don't want to hear, "Hey, we're gonna eat dead pig for supper!" rather than delicious pork chops smothered in onion gravy, they'd rather not know that their cell phones require the mining of rare ores and chemicals that leave such monstrous holes in the ground that will never be backfilled and replanted.
Oh! I gotta take this call!
