10 Years of Wasatch Front Light Rail Mass Transit
There are several cities throughout the region that need to step up efforts to get rail systems of their own initiated or grown, including El Paso, Albuquerque, Tucson, Las Vegas, Boise, Cheyenne, Casper, Billings, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Grand Junction, and Missoula. Regional and area high speed mass transit is also long overdue in almost every part of the region.

Climate Change Deniers Horse Manure
There is no cover-up or chicanery concerning Global Warming and Climate Change. It is already here, getting far more worse daily, and is largely caused by man made activities such as fossil fuel burning, wide-scale sprawl and development, continued irresponsible unabated human population growth, deforestation, and epic levels of pollution. The sad thing is that corporations and their government lackeys, along with small minded and closed minded simpletons, are preventing any policy change from happening that will lessen the impact of this greatest change in human history from happening starkly and horrifically in the coming years and decades.

Mount Taylor Long Overdue to Become Federally Protected and Preserved
The entire Mount Taylor region desperately needs to be designated as a national park and historical area, removing it from any further development and ecological scarring. The economic benefits of an act like this would be tremendous to the impoverished area of Grants, NM, a sadsack town that clings on the obsolete economy of the past like much of New Mexico in hope of recapturing yesteryear. A national monument would springboard that area of Cibola County into a more forward direction.
