text: No...the renewables are dying. During the last three years of heat around the Gulf of Alaska, spruce aphids attacked the trees in the Homer area. It is now clear that this killed many of them. There is hope that the cooler winter we are currently experiencing might stop them for a while until the next El Nino. Do NOT try to pull this oil industry scam...'much higher levels of pollution will have to be tolerated when renewable organics are used for fuel'.
