Environmental degradation and destruction of cultural heritage sites driven by a false energy emergency cannot be justified. Sacred places, historic battlefields, museums, and educational sites generate immense value for communities through tourism and preservation efforts that far outweigh any short-term resource extraction gains. We must oppose policies that enable unchecked exploitation of these invaluable cultural resources which define our national identity. Protecting these sites ensures they continue enriching lives and fostering understanding across generations.
