85%, actually. And Grand Staircase is losing 50% of its land. I'd add them both to my bucket list of beautiful wild spaces to visit before they're lost, but ironically enough, both monuments are expecting more visitors than they can handle who apparently think like I do.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission voted 3-2 Monday to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to cross the state. The decision is a key step toward the completion of the Keystone Pipeline network.
