In an incredibly under reported story at the beginning of December, the Trump administration
auctioned off 150,000 acres in the State of Utah alone to the fracking industry, 150 acres
from obviously the department of the interior that includes areas around a Big Ears, Canyons
of the Ancients, and Hoeven Wood national monuments and Glen Canyon national recreation
area sites that bring in hundreds of thousands of tourists every single year.
All right.
These are moneymakers for the state.
These beautiful national parks protected lands, and the Interior Department of the Trump administration
did exactly what they promised us they were going to do when they came into office.
They're selling it off.
They literally auctioned it off to the highest bidder.
So now these national monuments that generate revenue for the state that attracts people
from all over the country to come see these natural wonders, they're going to belong to
the fracking industry.
All those fracking waste products are going to be right there filling up our national
parks.
And the worst part is that, as I pointed out, this happened at the beginning of December.
This was possibly one of the most under reported yet vital stories of the year and nobody seemed
to care about it.
Nobody even batted an eye when it happened because they didn't even know it happened.
You know, environmental sites like Eco Watch, they do a phenomenal job of covering stories
like this that people actually should be paying attention to.
Stories that matter, and we're going to poison her national parks.
We're going to give everything to the fracking industry or the oil industry or the coal mining
industry, or even the bottled water industry.
Screw over consumer, screw over.
Tourists screw these states out of money just so we can feed our addiction of helping corporations
and trying to extract every single ounce of fossil fuel that we can out of the ground
so we don't have to immediately switch to renewable energy.
This is an unsustainable policy both environmentally speaking, economically speaking, and in terms
of energy itself, there is a finite amount of fossil fuel in the United States.
It is finite.
There is an infinite amount of renewable energy sources.
Yet, this administration would rather sell off our own protected lands than have to,
God forbid, build a solar farm.
That's where we're at today and we've hit this point while at the same time, scientists
and researchers and governments around the world are telling us, time is up.
Time's up to address climate change.
It has to start today or else in 10 to 12 years, we are really screwed.
That's what the reports are telling us, but rather than addressing that, whether rather
than doing something about it, this administration just ought to auction off a 150,000 acres
and nobody seemed to care that it happened.
