Letter to the Editor Letter-to-the-editor |

David Bernhardt touting fossil fuels on the Western Slope (“Former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt addresses Garfield County energy forum,” April 14, Glenwood Springs Post Independent)? Clearly a case of carrying coal to New Castle. Heating homes is a priority, but at what cost and whose profit? We and the Earth are at peril if carbon emissions are not reduced, and quickly at that.
