The Green River Formation, which includes a chunk of northeastern Utah, was singled out by the Sierra Club as one of six dangerous climate disrupter regions in the country due to its massive potential for fossil fuel development. This report highlights major new climate disrupters that have the potential to release billions of tons of new carbon dioxide into the air, negating the (Obama) administrations progress to reduce carbon pollution from vehicles and power plants, the Sierra Club report states. Called Dirty Fuels, Clean Futures, the analysis shows that tar sands and oil shale development in the formation would release carbon pollution that would far eclipse any strides made by Obamas implementation of strict new fuel efficiency standards for cars.
