    The regularly acknowledged issues of oilfield drilling are clearly faced in Pinedale, and these issues have been handled nicely in both the Jonah field and the Pinedale anticline. In a personal interview with Pinedale’s local high school energy explorations teacher, Debra Noble, the effects of the oilfield on both the citizens of the town, as well as its environmental impacts are discussed. The teacher points out that throughout Sublette County, most of the wells are located on public land which is thought to make the “operators take better care of the land. They have to follow all of the BLM's guidelines and make sure that they monitor wildlife, air quality, water quality, and recreational opportunities.” While, in areas of the country where all the wells are on private land, the companies are able to cut corners and not be as environmentally conscious.…

These practices were happening destructively everywhere in the environment and thousands of contaminated sites were created. Contaminated sites often included warehouses, landfills, processing plants and manufacturing sites. The superfund program in 1980 was imposed by congress to clean up these contaminated sites based upon health concerns of the people, environmental risks and possible ecosystem destruction.…

    I appreciate your view of President Reagan. However, I disagree that he was one of our greatest presidents. Reagan and his administration had one of the worst environmental records of our modern presidencies. Additionally, during Reagan’s term, the Environmental Protection Agency was lackadaisical in enforcing antipollution laws, and the Department of the Interior was complaisant with profit-making corporations. Hence, the government opened up large areas of federal domain, including offshore oil fields to private development.…

Coal corporations are profiting ridiculously from this heinous activity and there seems to be nothing to stop it.…
