This is a perfect oportunity to pass public private eco laws where wind mills and solar are combined with data centers on former parks that are now designated security zones, as it is the ONLY logical solution to the complex problems of our times.

"The administration is preparing to blast hundreds of miles of destructive roads through the wildest place left in Texas and cut off public access to the Rio Grande, all to enrich private contractors."

I think anyone on either side of this opinion could have made a better complaint than what they came up with. It sounds like they are upset with the idea of roads in general.
