Opportunity, Montana: Big Copper, Bad Water, and the Burial of an American Landscape
In 2002, Texas journalist Brad Tyer strapped a canoe on his truck and moved to Montana, a state that has long exerted a mythic pull on America's imagination as an unspoiled landscape. The son of an engineer who reclaimed wastewater, Tyer was looking for a pristine river to call his own. What he found instead was a century's worth of industrial poison clotting the Clark Fork River, a decades-long engineering project to clean it up, and a forgotten town named Opportunity.
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Montana exploited the richest copper deposits in the world, fueling the electric growth of twentieth-century America and building some of the nation's most outlandish fortunes. The toxic byproduct of those fortunes-what didn't spill into the river-was dumped in Opportunity.
In the twenty-first century, Montana's draw is no longer metal, but landscape: the blue-ribbon trout streams and unspoiled wilderness of the nation's last best place. To match reality to the myth, affluent exurbanites and well-meaning environmentalists are trying to restore the Clark Fork River to its natural state. In the process, millions of tons of toxic soils are being removed and dumped-once again-in Opportunity. As Tyer investigates Opportunity's history, he wrestles with questions of environmental justice and the ethics of burdening one community with an entire region's waste.
Stalled at the intersection of a fading extractive economy and a fledgling restoration boom, Opportunity's story is a secret history of the American Dream, and a key to understanding the country's-and increasingly the globe's-demand for modern convenience.
As Tyer explores the degradations of the landscape, he also probes the parallel emotional geography of familial estrangement. Part personal history and part reportorial narrative, Opportunity, Montana is a story of progress and its price, of copper and water, of father and son, and of our attempts to redeem the mistakes of the past.
Memoir, history, and the unequal application of economic justice come together in Tyer's deeply felt and sharply penned nonfiction debut.—Publisher's Weekly
Tyer's evocative prose of quiet melancholy and gentle humor.—Kirkus
An intelligent, insightful, and finely crafted book that channels outrage into clear thinking.—Booklist
Mr. Tyer has written a lovely book, searing in its anger, about a beautiful but much abused place. —Larry McMurtry
This previously neglected subject provides a great way to talk about the crazy doubleness of Montana, a state we've idealized and plundered for two hundred years. Opportunity's story lines stretch not only across the state but around the country and the world, and Brad Tyer is just the person to follow them. His writing is straightforward, heartfelt, and elegant. —Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia and Great Plains
That the most scapegoated place in Montana is called 'Opportunity' is an irony so rich that a skilled blacksmith could forge it into swords, or plowshares, as the spirit moved. Brad Tyer is that blacksmith. Deploying a unique blend of journalistic acumen, lyric scholarship, and canoemanship, Tyer has fashioned an emblematic history, biopsy, and eulogy not just of a river and town, but of the thankfully dying extraction juggernauts of the post-industrial West. —David James Duncan, author of The River Why and The Brothers K
Brad Tyer, in this excellently reported book, asks a fundamental question: is it fair that Missoula, a thriving little city, gets its poisons cleaned up at the expense of Opportunity? Citizens in Opportunity don't think so. As the globe industrializes, even more toxic waste is being created, and while we can move it around, we can't make it go away. Pretty soon we'll be eager to mend our ways. But how? We should all be reading Opportunity, Montana. —William Kittredge, author of Hole in the Sky and The Nature of Generosity
Industrial progress always leaves a hidden country of spills and blight. In this powerful and poignant memoir, Brad Tyer takes us up the river into one of America's own ravaged quarters and asks important questions about how we lock away parts of our history. This is not just a book about burying a deadly inheritance; it's about fathers and sons and the erasing flow of time. An amazing debut from one who knows the country intimately. —Tom Zoellner, author of Uranium: War Energy and the Rock That Shaped the World

Let's face it: Humans are pretty messy. Industrial processes like mining and manufacturing are important parts of keeping civilization going, but they all impact the environment. Sometimes that impact is particularly big and messy, leaving behind hazardous waste that can take years or even decades to clean up.

Andrew Hall: Electric Earth | EU2017
The surface of the Earth is a canvas that portrays the artistry and power of the forces that created it. Electric Earth presents a theory of the mechanisms of past cataclysm and how they relate to the forces we see at work in nature today. Through the unfiltered lens of Electric Universe cosmology, the raw workings of nature will be examined, and evidence presented to show its effect on the land. Lightning bolts of immense proportion, arcs from the interior of the Earth, shock waves caused by whirlwinds of supersonic velocity left their mark for us to see. This presentation will show you how to see this for yourself.
Andrew Hall is a natural philosopher, engineer, and writer. A graduate of the University of Arizona’s Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering College, he spent thirty years in the energy industry. He has designed, consulted, managed and directed the construction and operation of over two and a half gigawatts of power generation and transmission, including solar, gasification and natural gas power systems. From his home in Arizona, he explores the mountains, canyons, volcanoes, and deserts of the American Southwest to understand and rewrite an interpretation of Earth’s form in its proper electrical context. He is writing a book online titled “Trailer Park Cosmology” that he welcomes EU enthusiasts to preview and comment as it is written.

Birch Cove - Tulsa Area - Army Corp of Engineers Park
Birch Cove - Tulsa Area - Army Corps of Engineers Park
Birch Cove is an Army Corps of Engineers Park that the Two Tired Teachers found amazing. Despite none of the sites having water at the campsite, it is a gorgeous campground with water near each campsite.
Birch Cove is near Tulsa, OK; and not far from Bartlesville, OK. Off the beaten path attractions abound in the area. Two Tired Teachers visited Woolaroc, standing for woods, lake, and rock. It is a retreat that belonged to Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips 66 gas company.
In Pawhuska, the Two Tired Teachers saw the Mercantile Building where Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond offers some of her amazing cooking skills. When the Two Tired Teachers were there, the line waiting to get in was fairly long out the door.
The Two Tired Teachers also visited the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. A herd of over 2,000 bison have are free to roam on this 15 mile area. A visitors center and small gift shop offering souvenirs is deep in the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve.
Camping in a corp of engineers park was easy because Oklahoma corp of engineers park was beautiful. It is a coe campground in Tulsa area. Camping at Birch Cove was a great experience.
