Utah Wilderness Area Sale Will Yield A Few Weeks' Worth Of Oil
13 September 2004 - 12:00pm
The Bureau of Land Management has auctioned off nearly nearly 40,000 acres of legislatively proposed wilderness in Utah to oil interests -- although studies show the resulting oil would serve the country's needs only for a few weeks.
The sale (ironically coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act) is being opposed by a number of organizations, including the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Natural Resources Defense Council, The Wilderness Society, The Grand Canyon Trust, and the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club.

And many of us – the majority, in fact – find ourselves living in a drive-only landscape, where we must burn gas even to reach a transit stop, if one exists.
