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

I didn't say people shouldn't use generators. On this trip this summer we traveled four months through Canada and the U.S. We purposely didn't bring our generator with us to see how well we could live with solar only. It worked.
That said, I wouldn't be caught in the desert boondocking without a generator in the summer. Nothing wrong with using it when needed. National parks, I'm not so sure. You can't make rules to cover everyone's likes, if you did, there wouldn't be any rules and no conservation.
Maybe it should be backpacking ang tenting only and then I would be left out too. But if that's what it takes to make sure future generations can enjoy it, I'm all for it. I can learn to tent just as well. I have to look at it from the standpoint of what is best for the future, it's not about us in the moment.
Again, there are those who feel it is here for us to "use up", or I pay my taxes.
