wells for the Bad Gas stages in the upper Pennsylvanian layers. You probably know him; he's been there 40 years and still working it. His initials
are G. S. , lives in Bluff. Grouchy old curmudgeon, unlike the rest of us. I also battled a few oil well fires in that area when I was a VFF.

Sorry to hear that the area still stinks, I can still remember that smell.
I would say that that field is the perfect example of what can happen when there is no effective oversight or concern for the environment. A lot of
the wells in that area were drilled a long time ago before protecting the environment was a big concern. Where do you place the blame, on the
producers or the Navajo tribe? I think they both share the blame equally. That being said I'm encouraged to see how far we in the US have come as it
pertains to protecting the environment. We still have a way to go, we always will. The Navajo tribe is a sovereign nation, they can do as they please
with their country, much like Mexico.

"The Navajo tribe is a sovereign nation, they can do as they please with their country, much like Mexico."
The Earth is one planet - we humans' home. Ignorance in industry, when surrounded by facts, past history (huge irreversible scars), governmental
laws, moral decency, and respect for all life, for the sake of making a buck for a relative few is unconscionable and irresponsible - no matter what
spot on the planet it is happening. And neither Navajos nor Mexicans have a right to damage Earth - our home.
Has mankind learned nothing - does greed still prevail in spite?

agreed
some people just love to complain
if they were eating nuts and berries and living in a cave their life expectancy may crest 40
there may be a solution here
let them go off the grid and eat bark and maggots
off the grid means no internet complaining

We have lived here for years off-grid and I still am able to enjoy my daily dose of "internet complaining", quite well, thank you...

This is what it will look like.
And the phosphate mining project in Namibia was shelved for 1 1/2 years due to EIA concerns. Thousands of pages of research online - none of it
portends a beneficial outcome for the Don Diego project.

Marine phosphate mining has never been done before. The Namibia proposed project has been stopped because of environmental concerns, as has a proposed
project in New Zealand.

Where is this proposed Mexican project? In the bay or offshore?
