Plus he is away from home in Ft Collins 3 weeks out of four and his home bills are still there.
Yes costs can be higher but they have places that are almost like tent cities up in the summer there for almost no cost at all. It all depends on how you decide to live.

Have you been there?
We were there last year at this time. the tent cities you refer to are higher than a real town.
Guys spend a fortune in fuel costs, usual drive is about 100 miles 1 way.

That's funny! Obama hasn't even come close to what he said he'd do for environmentalists - it's one of the reasons his support is so low among Dems and Independents. Hell, he even just hired a former
TransCanada lobbyist
to do the environmental assessment of the Keystone Pipeline. I'm sure that report will be objective and unbiased!
That's as bad as his not putting geologists on the committee to investigate the Horizon Spill.
But "save a tree and see families starve?" That's silly, not to mention inaccurate. Environmentalists don't want families to starve, they aren't looking to save just a tree; but the whole forest, and it's not to save just a few families, but several million from starvation thanks to the increasing burden on food production due to climate change, increasing population, and inefficient food production and transportation. We can't keep living like we have every right to consume as voraciously as we have been and think that there won't be consequences.
As for the strippers, more power to 'em if they can earn that much for a living!

Good then you are open to drilling in all the places that Perry and most Republicans have talked about! Create millions of jobs to help feed families. Stop our dependence upon the Middle East and save everyone money for food and shleter. Glad we agree on this! Anything else puts trees first.
And most sane people know that Environmentalists are some of the biggest terrorists in the United States! They are destroying us from within very quickly! (this should be fun)

That depends on your definition of sanity.

How does global warming put an increased burden on food production? My uneducated take on it is that global warming would lead to longer and more productive growing seasons.
