Research found valuable resources in Yellowstone’s thermal pools. Now the argument is on whether the Park Service should patent those resources, and risk over-developing protected NATIONAL natural resources. The majority of products we use today were financed by government resources, like computers, the internet, teflon, to name a few that came out of military or NASA projects. “Defense” industry gets government funding for R &D that used to be funded by the corporations- still patents their findings and makes the profit off tax supported research- that is the real world “neocons” don’t want us looking at.
