I love visiting Canyon Lands whch comprises the center of the one of the largest uranium mining complexes in the world, love the San Juans, Crystal River, Taylor River, Roaring Fork and Animas River Valleys which nurtured massive mining complexes in their heyday just as the expansive open spaces spaces around Boulder where home to extensive coal and oil fields.

The hysteria is deafening but history demonstrates that resource development doesn't preclude scenic and recreational benifits.

Nice try though.
