Biden Administration Moves to Protect 264,442 Acres of Ruby Mountains in Nevada from Oil and Gas Development for 20 Years
Dec 30, 2024, 08:00 PM
The Biden administration has initiated the process to protect the Ruby Mountains in northeast Nevada from oil, gas, and geothermal development for a period of 20 years. The U.S. Interior Department approved an application from the U.S. Forest Service to withdraw approximately 264,442 acres of federal land from such activities. This move aims to preserve the natural beauty of the Ruby Mountains, which are often referred to as Nevada's 'Swiss Alps.' The announcement has been welcomed by local officials and advocates who have long pushed for these protections.
