    I mean, that’s why they called them conservatives, right? It was their willingness to obliterate every last bit of nature in the name of the almighty dollar.

      Yeah, logging for timber does, which is what we’re going to get from this administration. Selective thinning of smaller trees (eg: mostly not commercially viable) can be part of how you restore regular low-intensity fire to the forests in the western US, which reduces the risk of high-intensity fire.

        True, but not many logging companies do selective logging unfortunately. Gotta think about those Weyerhauser shareholders.
