would you pay $41 to enter a National Park?
I am calling BS on this story. Read it and the implication is that folks would be okay with an 80% increase in entrance fees if it ensured they would see a bear Article

Any high electricity costs that any of our NPs have to pay are because of "hookup mania" and/or "minimum/no generator mania" that many RV'ers have.
If most hookup site power pedestals would be disconnected (except for disabled folks) and generator hours extended ... at least five things would happen: 1) Less NP expenses, 2) Less NP campers for awhile until folks learned how to camp w/o electricity, 3) More noise from generators, 4) More business for Honda and Yamaha, and 5) More business for RV solar panel connected businesses.
I don't mind generator noise and I also think many RV'ers might eventually begin to really enjoy the various challenges of cutting their umbilical cords when camping out in nature.
Compare the crowding in RV drycamp campgrounds with the crowding in RV hookup campgrounds - usually a big difference.
