Trump wants to dig for oil in many places and many of these places just so happen to be National Parks. He wants to either go straight through them or very near them. He has talked about putting a drill right out side of Zions National Park, this would be seen from miles within and without the park (National Parks Traveler) it would disrupt the beauty and possibly the wildlife as well. The average Oil rig lasts around 12 years (McKinney) so that might be handy for the time it operates but afterwards not so much. Who knows what kinds of trouble and oil spills it would cause that isn't something that we want for our parks but in our current situation it just might happen because Trump has the higher say on these things.
