Navy Unfazed, Still Determined to Wreck Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park
The state Department of Natural Resources has declined to give the Navy permission to rape the forested lands controlled by the DNR. The DNR controls three of the fifteen sites the Navy had targeted. The Navy is still pursuing the other twelve sites.
The Navy will need permission from the U.S. Forest Service to ruin the other twelve sites. The Forest Service expects to make a draft decision by the middle of this year. The Forest Service has already received 3,314 comments, which can be reviewed here.

Is that a military ship in the Port Angeles harbor?
You don't think the military actually CARES what anybody else thinks? Especially anybody not fawning all over their plans?
Aw, no responses...I guess the first, and only commenter was right: NO ONE CARES.
" You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.
Pave Paradise.."
Where I'm moving to in central Texas we'll be bitching about windmill farms.
How stupid, Billy.
Yeah, I know, the impacts of oil and coal energy production on the environment and other people may not be as visible to some people as those created by a windmill. Sure, using oil and coal is literally killing the world we are living in, and the world we are leaving for our children.
Do you have children, Billy?
@ 7:03 PM.... You missed my point, I simply pointed out that many folks down there are fussing about them.
Not to belabor the issue, but you did say ".. in central Texas we'll be bitching about windmill farms".
Using "we" usually includes yourself.
@ 11:54 AM... Don't know if I'll be fussing about them or not, at this point I'm neutral.
The problem as I understand it is that they are wanting to put them up close to peoples homes and doing to devalues their properties, and can be pretty noisy, and the turning blades bother some folks, etc...
Have you seen the photos on how close the fracking wells are to peoples' homes, and what that has done to home values? How sick people are getting from all the toxic gases they burn off, or just release into the local air? How banks won't do mortgages on houses with these fracking wells near them?
The Navy's Intrepid was towed in a couple days ago and towed out this morning after losing power and drifting in Canadian waters. Its sister ship did not break down and was self-propelled after leaving Tacoma. Are we skimping on defense spending?
"Are we skimping on defense spending?"
LOL! Funny.
We have a military presence in 150 of the worlds' 198 countries, and the largest military budget of any nation. As has been pointed out, the US spies on every email, phone call and the movements of not only it's own citizens, but of most of the rest of the world.
With high speed automatic license plate readers capable of storing the info on 1,800 plates a second, mounted all over, the government can compile a pretty complete picture of a person's daily travel patterns. Where you go, when you go, where you park, etc.
This is happening now.
Skimping? Hardly.
