Obama administration cuts back oil shale development


Controversy is heating up over an administration plan to drastically reduce the amount of federal lands available for oil shale development in the American West.

The Bush administration had set aside 1.3 million acres for oil shale and tar sands development  in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The new Bureau of Land Management plan cuts that amount by two-thirds, down to 700,000 acres, a decision that has prompted industry outrage.

"What they basically did was make it so that nobody is going to want to spend money going after oil shale on federal government lands," said Dan Kish, Senior Vice President of Institute for Energy Research.

  1. The reality of it is, that constitutionally, the FedGov does not own land.

    But, we also know that since the lie has been told over and over for many, many years, they think that they do, and the ignorant sheeple think that they do.

    What is it going to take to wrench what does not rightfully belong to the FedGov, away from the FedGov?

    Food for thought.
