If I read the article correctly, they want to make all of northwest New Mexico off limits to energy development because there are ruins here and there. This area is already part of the Navajo Reservation, and oil and gas has a relatively small footprint compared to the large scale uranium mining that went on there in the 1970's and early 1980's. Sounds like a UN and liberal push to further deny our energy independence.

What say those FReepers living in the Four Corners area?

I would think the oil and gas exploration and extraction would be a lot less hazardous and dirty than the uranium mining, as well.

As a 4 Corners boy reared here . . . and back now for 8-9 years . . .

They can put that proposal where OThuga keeps his head.

SJackson is spot on.

Most of the road network is rather obscure and certainly more remote than most folks think.

San Juan County is bigger than the State of Conneticut(sp?--neither spell check nor a spelling book nor a dictionary were of any help. LOL).

I wouldn't be for obliterating most of each one of the 20% more important roads.

However, most of major long stretches of the roads they are talking about will never see humans within 100’ of them for the next 100+ years and more. The only travelers on them are jackrabbits, rattlers & horned toads & lizards.

I'm Choctaw and Cherokee. And I respect the Dine a lot. However, a bunch of the Native American hoopla is just posturing and political grandstanding for personal gain.

Enough already yet.

However, the globalists want to make all of North America one large National world park for the elite's playground. The oil and gas stuff has relatively small footprints in a rather desolate landscape. But then the whol oil charade gets into another globalist bunch of nonsense.
