Re: [Utah-astronomy] USGS Report: Gas and Oil around and in NP in southern Utah; More dark skies at serious risk.

Only during your lifetime, Jay. I'm not a fan of drilling indiscriminately, but it must be remembered that fossil fuels will be exhausted in a generation or three, and then everything gets dark again. With gas prices the way they are, I can't even afford to drive to a National Park more than maybe once a year anyway. Mr. Fusion can't get here fast enough.

It is no wonder Utah wants control of all this land. I guess observing at dark sites in Utah will be limited to the West Desert . . . as LP hits the major parks from the oil and gas wells that are drilled. _______________________________________________
