This truly is an urgent crisis and we need to act now.
We have seen a history with Forest Service of over-reporting or even misrepresenting actual treated acreage.
Thanks so much again, Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the time and being in your Subcommittee today.
This truly is an urgent crisis. We need to act now.
Make no mistake, our forests and rural communities continue to face an unprecedented forest health and wildfire crisis.
We are obviously extraordinarily concerned about regulation that we simply can't afford and that doesn't fix an actual problem.
We are going to be moved into caves to eat crickets and berries in the dark because CO2 has moved from 0.03 to 0.04 percent since 1960.
I mean, I just--unbelievable to me that we think we are going to electrify everything and do it economically.
I thought it was really wild.
It is completely unreasonable, and I hear what you are dealing with.
We have to vastly increase our pace and scale of doing forestry work, instead of these half measures we have been doing so long.
