This could change. The BLM has included three parcels within the view shed of Zion National Park for lease at their oil and gas auction in June. Two of these straddle the Kolob Terrace Road. This sale is being opposed by an environmental community, concerned about the threats of carbon development on biodiversity, wilderness and air and water quality, and by local officials worried about how 4 million visitors to Zion will feel when they see, hear and smell oil wells if they choose to explore this wild and remote section of the park. Those of us concerned about how climate disruption is degrading our future are also opposed to this lease sale, realizing that carbon must be kept "in the ground" to avoid its catastrophic impacts on our climate.
