These people complain about miners disturbing the landscape with exploration and yet they are doing the same thing looking for "210 million year old" fossils . They are using picks and shovels just like the miners did, what's the difference? They then want to preserve a few fossils and keep progress from happening.

The earths landscape is full of fossilized history. We don't need to shut down an area because it doesn't fit with someone's politics of sun or wind power instead of other natural resources like coal, oil or nuclear.
