Rappahannock residents eiy oy a singular experience. Jhey live adjacent to one of our country’s most valuable barks. While various conservation groups and the National Park Service struggle to put limits on added pollution coming from power plant, auto and factory emissions, out-of-state dilution is out of their control and these groups must look to national leadership for a regional strategy.
Currently there has been a political tug-of-war between the National Park Service which has been uncharacteristically vocal in trying to do its job - drawing Attention to the declining health of the natural resources it is Intrusted with and the Bush administration which views regulation as a means to cripple industry.
But the core of the problem is that without regulation, power plants and factories would not want to spend the fconey on new anti-pollution technology and without the antipollution technology, there is no solution to the problem. Z While a regulatory environment can initially present difficulties for large industry, you can count on the fact that it yill find a means to compensate. Industry will adapt and change to meet the challenge. However, the same cannot be «aid for our environment. Left to the greed and disregard of jnany, it will shrivel and disappear before our very eyes bnable to make the adaptions necessary to survive.
The Shenandoah National Park is our heritage, particularly those of us who live in Rappahannock County. 3Ve must work to do whatever is necessary to keep it healthy. Taking good care of its bear population is certainly a step in $he right direction.
