I find this deeply troubling,that this issue continues to go unresolved.It is truly shocking in this age of global warming,polutants,and the grave effects that are evident today,that greed could put our most precious resources in such critical risk.Has anyone tried contacting earthjustice.org or calling 800-584-6460 I just read about them,and checked out the site they are anon profit group of attorneys they put lawyers on the ground where they are most needed.They have won many cases including stopping a mine .Also they have many cases pending in alaska, california,ect.Given the importance of the resources at risk it is certainly worth looking at. thank you for your time,sncerely ,Lisa Fosmo
