People walk toward the temple at Burning Man near Gerlach, Nev., on the Black Rock Desert on Aug. 31, 2012. A county commission has rescinded a permit an energy company needs to drill exploratory wells for a geothermal project in the Nevada desert near the site of the annual Burning Man counter-culture festival about 100 miles north of Reno. Officials for the Burning Man organization and others who have filed suit in U.S. District Court to block the geothermal development in the Black Rock Desert say the move puts the project on hold indefinitely and could scuttle it all together.
