The energy industry has discovered this part of the west. Natural gas exploration has really compromised the environment in and around Grand Junction. The economy is stronger for this but the increased air pollution, traffic of big trucks and trampling of the forests and high desert are a huge negative. Grand Junction is not a small quaint high desert town anymore. The cost of housing has doubled in the past five years and the outdoors is not the experience it was 5-10 years ago. Gas wells are popping up everywhere and there is no end in sight. Unless you work in the energy industry you will not like where this thing is going. What a shame.
