BringtheRain, refer to BLNV previous comment about facilities and roads. 480 miles of roads - the length of Nevada is about that long, how much road do you need? If things aren't controlled out there all the cool hikes are just going to be roads and the wide open feel is diminishing with every new motorized route. You should head out there sometime and see for yourself whats actually on the ground.

Congresswoman Berkley deserves a lot of credit for stepping up to the plate when Porter was not willing. I am part of the majority of residents in Clark County who favor protecting more places as wilderness. Red Rock Canyon is currently designated as a NCA and wilderness and there is a plethora of recreational access - while at the same time balancing the conservation needs. Gold Butte also needs these additional protections before its too late.

The Gun Store as you can see is for LV Strip tourists who want to play around with assault rifles. The staff are pretty lazy and unhelpful, I can see where they have been spending their time now - spreading lies with the NRA about Obama. For hunters who want a real gun store, go to Bass Pro Shop and look into Obama and McCain's policies on protecting wildlife habitat and public land access and you can make the decision for yourself.

Obviously you missed the point jfnance32.
Gold Butte is a place that deserves protection from development (including energy) so we can continue to enjoy this beautiful area and the wildlife have a place to call home. There are plenty of areas suitable for renewables, but Gold Butte isn't one of them.
