  1. The next oil boom?  While the columnist’s attitude towards environmental sensitivity isn’t exactly what I’d call “enlightened”, his main topic of discussion is quite interesting:  Shell’s new oil shale extraction technique is supposedly viable at $30/barrel, and produces energy returns similar to those of soy biodiesel (3.5 to 1).

    The Green River Formation is one of the largest – if not the largest – oil reserves in the world, which until now has been locked up due to the close physical bonds which hold the oil.  A 160-acre commercial scale test project should be cleared soon.

    If successful, Western Colorado and the surrounding area will be guaranteed a major oil boom.  This is good news if you’re an oilman watching the ageing Rangely oil fields dwindle.  However, the description of the extraction technique does not sound environmentally sensitive; the active surface area of the “well” site will approximate the boundary of the area of extraction – i.e. it won’t be usable for cattle, farming, or wildlife.

  2. I was at the border Saturday and walked again Monday as we cruised into Fort Collins about 4pm. 15 miles.  My feet hurt.  We got a lot of waves and horns honking during the day.  Had one guy stop, run across the street and gave us $20 for the campaign.  Had a few folks flippn’ the bird but not many.  The reception was very positive.

  3. No hate crimes charges have been pressed against the alleged killers of a gay man found dead in a Montrose park July 30. Over the weekend, the cause of Kevin Hale’s death was reported to be strangulation.

    The case looks and smells like a hate crime, but authorities may be reluctant to apply Colorado’s hates crimes laws (that were newly expanded to include sexual orientation) — possibly because the victim had told police several times that he was being harassed.

  4. Andy B — regarding Kevin Hale’s death in Montrose.  Remind me the next time that I get killed and want the criminal penalty to include a hate crime NOT to notify the authorities each time I was harrassed while alive.
