Someone once said “the only true wilderness is between a greenies’ ears.” Here are a couple of local examples. What would be more catastrophic and what would be more likely? The crash of a large weekly dump truck spilling its load of crushed high grade copper ore on the truck route above town or the spillage of 10,000 gallons of volatile fuel from one of four daily double tanker trucks? The same question could also apply at the east approach at the Wells Bridge. Since the local greenies are only concerned with ore trucks, answer the question.
