Opinion | Letters: Act now to save the Colorado River for future generations
Re: “A lifeline dries up,” July 24 news story
And, he went on, “At a big bank like ours, what do people think the average loan length is? It is six years. What happens to the planet in year seven is actually irrelevant to our loan book. For coal, what happens in year seven is actually irrelevant.”As stated in the article, for 100 years politicians, business people, and the average citizen have chosen to ignore warnings by experts, as supported by objective observation, that water is a limited resource.
Two headline articles in the Sunday Post appear to contradict one another. First, the Colorado River is out of water. Second, Johnstown and the nearby area are expecting thousands of new houses and residents.
The article starts off as more a Republican editorial than an impartial news story. It emphasizes how people and families with low incomes will get relatively higher refunds than those in higher brackets. The “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” is currently in Congress for consideration. The JCPA bill pits Google, Facebook, Amazon and others in social media against an assemblage of U.S. news groups. This political contest between big business and big business is of little concern to me. The great majority in our country values freedom of speech and rejects censorship; that’s what matters.
Possibly in an effort to gain the confidence of potential supporters for their JCPA cause, the editorial included a totally unsupportable claim in its messaging. Their curious comment was about the media “holding the powerful to account.” I would respectfully point out, however, that those of us who served in earlier conflicts also were subjected to high noise levels, without, I might add, the benefit of hearing protection.
The Greeks, Romans, Persians and Mongols were not able to reconstitute their empires, and neither will the Russians be successful. I understand the need for upgrading and eventual change, but this seems rushed and unfair to the public and to the operators who had a year left on their contract. The lodge is an amazing example of the “old Colorado” I grew up with and is a rare treasure that can’t be replaced. Please reconsider.
