Not pushing the Wild Horse issue here, but this shows the goal of the current DOI - not a roundup but a helicopter "survey" in the HMAs during foaling season (!) looking for lithium etc on our public lands.

As far as Wild Horses (and probably other wildlife) is concerned helicopters are monsters! For the BLM to be using them during foaling season certainly shows the lack of any interest in wildlife, when the issue is more extraction. Also, I'm assuming the cattle guards, are there to keep wildlife out of the roads. In this particular instance, the BLM DID fix it.

I think Xitter rotted Elon's brain. Lot of other folks too.

There are three "mid-sized" PHEV 4WD pickups available in Australia. Two from China with 50ish+ mile battery range, then gas; a Ranger from Ford with a battery about the size of the one in our three year old little Kia Niro PHEV. Pitiful. Maybe it's something in American water? Fluoride?
