Outdoor recreation and tourism is indeed one of the only reasons anyone goes to "that side" of the state. That, and to live in the breathtaking irony of being an individualistic libertarian in towns made viable through federal subsidies and the cut rate utilization of public (and federally managed) lands.

If we're going to compete with China we have to start somewhere.

I had this dipshit friend in college who's once neocon Republican family all turned into raging libertarian Paultards. They moved up to Eagle or whatever and would post pictures of White River National Forest constantly and about how beautiful gods creation was right next to posts about how no government agency except the military is allowed by the Constitution. People on the western slope are morons

Where the uranium and plutonium at? Those types of elements are the best elements.

In the 50-60s my grandfather worked at some dow chemical uranium enrichment plant and there was a massive accident that poisoned the northwest of all of Colorado for the next 1000 years. Anyway the government mostly covered it up.

The day of that announcement, State Senator Ellen Roberts, a Republican who lives near the river, cried softly as she considered the pollution, adding that she had dropped her father’s ashes in the depths of the river, which pollutants had turned into an unnatural-looking yellow-orange ribbon.

Testing by the E.P.A. — an agency typically in the position of responding to toxic disasters, not causing them — found that the wastewater spill caused levels of arsenic, lead and other metals to spike in the Animas River. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/11/us/durango-colorado-mine-spill-environmental-protection-agency.html?_r=0 All good here

this is what happens when you dont give the epa enough funding they hire idiots Return Of JimmyJars posted:In the 50-60s my grandfather worked at some dow chemical uranium enrichment plant and there was a massive accident that poisoned the northwest of all of Colorado for the next 1000 years. Anyway the government mostly covered it up. September 11, 1957 – Rocky Flats Plant, Golden, Colorado, USA – Fire, release of nuclear materials A fire began in a theoretically fireproof area inside the plutonium processing building, in a materials handling glove box and spread through the ventilation system into the stack filters at the Rocky Flats weapons mill 27 kilometres (17 mi) from Denver, Colorado. The fire quickly spread to the plutonium as various safety features failed. As the containment ability of the facility became compromised, plumes of radioactive smoke were sent high into the air. The fire raged inside the building for 13 hours over the night of the 11th & 12th before firefighters could finally extinguish it. In the aftermath, Department of Energy officials, and the Dow Chemical officials who ran the facility, did not admit the extent of the catastrophe, or the radiation danger, to local officials or the media. Knowledge of the extent of the damage and contamination was kept from the public for years. After the fire, plutonium was detected 30 miles from the plant - heavily contaminating the region, including a school 12 miles away, as well as including Denver and its environs. An independent group of scientists conducting off-site testing 13 years later found plutonium contamination in areas in nearby Rocky Flats to be 400 to 1,500 times higher than normal, higher than any ever recorded near any urban area, including Nagasaki. The Atomic Energy Commission then conducted its own off-site study, and that study confirmed plutonium contamination as far as thirty miles from the plant. this is a company that still exists (theyve done many other hosed up things) Relin fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Aug 11, 2015 |

From the NYT article posted earlier:quote:In his first interview since the spill, the owner of the mine, Todd Hennis, said the spill was probably the fault of another mine company — the Sunnyside Gold Corporation — that had built retention walls inside an abandoned mine near the Gold King, part of an old cleanup agreement with the federal government. Once the Sunnyside mine filled with wastewater, the water probably spilled into the Gold King, and then into the Animas, Mr. Hennis said. Who's really to blame?

I hope no one in the government gets fired over this. It would be a tragedy if people in government got fired for being such a gently caress up at their job.
