n  Senator Orrin Hatch visited Bears Ears April 20 and met with county leaders, and local people.  Follow his FB page to see what happens next.
n  Trump to order Review of Bears Ears, SL Trib Article  (now’s a good time to write)
n  Dodge City takeaway information:  Kansas leads the way in protecting private property  Since it was formed in March of 2013, KNRC has had an impact on local and national natural resources policy. The member counties of KNRC use scientifically-based insight and knowledge of existing law to impact policies which are of interest to property owners, ranchers, farmers, and rural communities across the country. KNRC is not afraid to take on federal policies, such as the Endangered Species Act, or the aggressive and well-funded special interests which abuse such policies to exert control over land and resources.
n  Notes from conference are attached to this same e-mail.  Thanks Donna Singer!

n  New way to look at Natural Resources from Forbes     …”nature gives us very few directly usable machine energy resources. Resources are not taken from nature, but created from nature. What applies to the raw materials of coal, oil and gas also applies to every raw material in nature—they are all potential resources, with unlimited potential to be rendered valuable by the human mind.
Ultimately, a resource is just matter and energy transformed via human ingenuity to meet human needs. Well, the planet we live on is 100% matter and energy, 100% potential resource for energy and anything else we would want…
The amount of raw matter and energy on this planet is so incomprehensibly vast that it is nonsensical to speculate about running out of it. Telling us that there is only so much matter and energy to create resources from is like telling us that there is only so much galaxy to visit for the first time. True, but irrelevant.”
