Comments Off on Cut new national parks, says group backed by Koch brothers
The National Park Service operations budget has been cut 80 percent in the last 4 years, but not enough for a group backed by the Charles G Koch Charitable Foundation. In a recent New York Times Op-Ed , Reed Watson, executive director of the Property and Environment Research Center, lambasted existing provisions to protect national parks and efforts to set aside new land for preservation. PERC, which has received over $90,000 from the Koch brother’s foundation, advocates cutting all taxpayer support for national parks and switching to a 100 percent fee-based funding structure instead.

Comments Off on Hyundai Unveils Plans to Install South Korea’s Largest Solar Power Plant
Hyundai isn’t joking when it claims it wants to fight global warming .
