The thought of preserving lands is effectively to keep them as untouched and pristine as possible. I ask then how is it that we allow endless streams of heavy diesel spewing trucks up and down 9 mile 
canyon? Amid protests from the Hopi Tribe and conservation groups our own state has turned a blind eye to the obvious mockery the gas company is making of laws and intended preservation ideals citizens have voted into place. Not until the Federal Government decides the situation is serious enough that our greed is postponed.
The real question is what are we as a nation, state, average citizen, tribal member, and conservationist willing to destroy. Are we willing to sacrifice history for the amount of gas that will be consumed by our country in 17 days and make one company rich in the process? When we take a stand and protect what we designated as protected then can we actually make companies realize that exceptions will not be made and that alternatives are demanded by the public. Companies either die or change...let us make them choose.
