Oil drilling in Arches

Ok guys, I still don't really know all the details of this issue, but I'd really like to know what you all know/think about it. Back in 2002, the Bush Administration gave permission to start drilling for oil as close as 4 miles away from our beloved Delicate Arch in Moab. I don't know about you but that doesn't really seem like very rational at all! Let me know what you think.

I think the ultimate question is how visible the proposed plans will be from the most frequently visited areas of the park. If it can't be seen - it's just as fair game as anywhere else in the county.

When the resurrection happens, the arches will be made whole, but I won't have money any longer. So for the time being - I say, "Bring on down the gas prices!"
